Today’s tattoo of the day is this amazing Jack Skellington from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas by Joe Matisa. Matisa is a New Jersey based tattoo artist and shop owner who has been tattooing since he was just 13 years old. His diverse style ranges from black and grey realism to color illustrative, such as the style used for today’s pick. With great attention to detail in this piece, Matisa captures key elements of the classic pumpkin king of Halloween Town such as his trusty companion Zero and the sly Oogie Boogie lurking in the moon.
