Trust the process - sit still, breathe, relax your arm, trust the needle and let the artist bring the portrait to life! Some clients drive miles for their art—grateful for every one who goes the distance to sit in my chair. Thank you for the trust and the long drive from Iowa!!! . . #ink #inked #tattoos #tattooartist #tattooshop #tattooart #realism #realistictattoo #chicagotattooartist #chicagoartist #chicagotattooshop #portraittattoo #tattooportrait #blackandgreytattoo #blackandgreytattoos #blackandgrey #tattoooftheday

The Trial of the Many-Headed Beast 🔥🔥🔥 They say the Hydra’s lair was a place where sunlight dared not enter, where even the bravest hunters tread lightly. But when Hercules arrived, he did not come as a wanderer — he came as a man destined for legend. The Hydra lunged with a fury carved from the oldest nightmares, yet Hercules did not waver. Strike by strike, mistake by mistake, he learned the truth of the monster. Only when he burned the wounds shut did the tide turn. And in that moment, the swamp went silent, knowing a new chapter of heroism had just been written. Portrait is fresh, action shot is healed 🙌 . . . #ink #inked #tattoos #tattooartist #tattooshop #tattooart #realism #realistictattoo #chicagotattooartist #chicagoartist #chicagotattooshop #portraittattoo #tattooportrait #blackandgreytattoo #blackandgreytattoos #blackandgrey #tattoooftheday #hercules #herculestattoo #greekmythology
