Freddy Portrait. I really NEED to get better photos of this but I did the tattoo in the even so please forgive the fluorescent lighting, but I really had a ball with this piece- done on my buddy Dave, we watched a couple horror films and just hung out- pieces this fun even feel like work! Freddy merged into a Jason portrait that I did a while back and now it’s on to the next character…. Possibly from ReAnimator! #freddyportraittattoo #horrortattoo #horrorportraittattoo #freddytattoo #nightmareonelmstreettattoo #wescraventattoo #monstertattoo #scarytattoo

Wrapped up the #Freddykrueger on the homie @nickybivona so this pic is half healed and half fresh. Super happy with how this came out and can’t wait to get into more of this #horror themed leg. Let me know what you think and who are your fav horror villains. Always a nice challenge doing a color portrait, any other takers for one?
