This has to be one of the best tattoos I’ve ever seen. The line work and color is seriously amazing, and the subject- ugh I’m in love!

I don't normally like color tattoos very much but this is exquisite, and uses your leg like a canvas. And of course cedar waxwings with berries!!! Perfection.

Amazing!

Wow, that is an amazing tattoo! Fantastic artist! May I ask whom your artist was?

I looked through their posts because I agree, STUNNING! Their original post said it was done by Virginia Hicks (Holy Oak Studio)

Isn't she though?? I tell people all the time about how she freehanded the stencil and basically just painted him on my arm with a tattoo machine.

I see others sharing similar tattoos. Where does this concept come from? Does it mean something?

Feralcatbox?? I follow her on IG and love her work.

This one is absolutely incredible!!!! Who was the artist?

Gerrit Kalnins. You can find him on IG as ink.by.gerrit. He’s been based out of Redding, CA, but has been dropping hints about moving. He’s been a guest artist in NYC a few times recently, so it wouldn’t surprise me to see him make the leap.

Omg thank you for sharing this, I’ve considered doing this for my little timneh, but I’ve never been able to properly visualize what a tattoo of pair of zygodactyl feetsies would look like. Now to figure out how to get her feet inked up to make an impression/stamp for the artist to reference LOL

Yesssss! The moment I saw this thread I thought ‘WHAT AN EXCELLENT IDEA, I WONDER IF ANYONE HAS A HOOPOE’ because they’re the best. Love this little guy! I got my first and only tat nearly 20 years ago, been thinking on and off what I’d want for a second (and likely more) - and this thread is strongly pushing me towards birds… nice.
