Tattoo Timelapse – Bob Tyrrell

Today’s SullenTV video is a tattoo timelapse featuring the legendary Bob Tyrrell. Any time you ask with a tattoo artist, particularly those who work in black-and-grey, about their influences Tyrrell’s name always comes up. Tyrrell has made his name by taking some of the heaviest imagery and turning it into black-and-grey masterpieces that will last a life time.

The tattoo that is the focus of this video is no different. Watch as Tyrrell inks a massive crowned skull on to the back of a lucky client over the period of eight-and-a-half hours. Don’t worry, the video is sped up to last only a shade over 5 minutes. You can learn a lot about how a quality black-and-grey piece comes together by studying Tyrrell’s craftsmanship throughout the video. It also doesn’t hurt that the musical accompaniment, a heavy metal track, goes perfectly with Tyrrell’s signature style.
