President’s Day is a holiday celebrated to honor some of the remarkable men that helped make America what it is today. Men like Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, whose dedication to their country helped inspire much of the pride that we have for the USA in modern times and throughout history. So today we wanted to show you all one of our favorite patriotic tattoos, this incredible American flag by Brent Olson. We love the sheen Olson created through color contrasts and highlighting that really makes this piece stand out. The placement was carefully chosen and works so well with the natural flow of the body. It takes a skilled hand to pull off a tattoo as three dimensional and realistic as this one and we bet if Abe Lincoln was alive today, he’d rock ink like this!
