I love this tatoo! It looks very painful, though, with all that color!
can i just say i LOVE this tattoo and i love the meaning behind the lorax……very unique
Damn man!
You stole my idea!
…Or, more likely, had it first.
But still!
*sigh* amen brotha. Or Sista perhaps.
A fan of ink I am not. But your tattoo I love…quite a lot!
Glad you all like it! I just stumbled across this post, for those interested I got it at Paul Roe in DC, and he was really great. He worked with me on coming up with original artwork strongly based on the style of the art in the book. It also wasn't terribly painful, took about 2 hours or so, plus a 30 minute retouch session once it healed to keep it looking nice. It's held up very well after a year and a half, I'll probably take an updated pic sometime.
