Steve Butcher is a tattoo artist in New Zealand. He tells Inked magazine that he started as a painter and then, at the encouragement of a friend, tried his hand at inking. You can see how well Butcher's composition skills carried over into tattoo work. His tattoos are so realistic that they look like photographs printed onto the skin of his clients. You can see more of his work on Instagram.
