Magnificent Batman Sleeve Tattoo

This detailed, full-color tattoo by British artist Ian Hopkins shows panels from classic Batman comic books. If you're into pre-Dark Knight Returns Batman, then this is the sleeve for you. It won him a prize at the Titanic Ink Tattoo Convention in Southampton, UK. The tattoo took him 40 hours of work.


I've always found these tattoos weird. Not the decision to get it. Not the art but what's going through the artist's mind. Any tattoo artist worth his/her salt won't copy another tattoo artist's work yet an artist who works in another medium is fair game.
