For the most part, Hale steers clear of color in his tattoos, thus making it far more powerful when he throws in a little bit of red like in the cardinal below. Hale’s blackwork style seems to be perfectly suited for portraying scaled animals—his fish and reptiles are mesmerizing. Flip through this gallery and marvel at David Hale’s Tattoo Menagerie.
