Japanese Dragon & Tiger Sleeve
A powerful black and grey sleeve featuring a dynamic composition of a dragon and a tiger — two opposing forces symbolizing balance and strength. The dragon flows across the shoulder and chest with detailed scales and movement, while the tiger on the outer arm adds intensity with a focused, aggressive expression. Soft gradients and smooth shading create depth, while the background elements enhance the flow of the sleeve across the body. The composition follows the anatomy naturally, giving the piece a cohesive and bold presence.

I focus on custom projects, creating each design specifically for the client. For me, a tattoo is a carefully planned composition that should flow naturally with the body and stay expressive over time. I pay close attention to the concept, details, and placement.
