Octopus Tattoo (Finished)

Martin is done. My daughter added a Gary to his name, so he is now Gary Martin. (She likes Spongebob’s pet snail, and frankly, so do I.) What else can be said. Eric Carlson at Wild Zero did unbelievable work. If you’re ever needing a tattoo in Morgantown, go there. Don’t even think about the other place.
Of course, I swore that I’d be done after this, that I would be absolutely finished. But…come on.
Looks amazing.
[...] They also have an Image Gallery containing tattoos broken down into three categories: octopus, cuttlefish, and squid. Also, an interested cephaloblog reader was kind enough to share his sinewy octopus tattoo with me and I am glad to see it turned out pretty well. [...]
[...] I’m headed to some sort of tattooing convention in October as a client of my friend Eric. He’ll be starting, and potentially finishing, a spiny lobster on my lower right leg, prey for my octopus. This strikes me as an expansion of my interest in tattooing. I’ll be getting inked in front of strangers, and for a very long period of time. If nothing else, this will certainly be interesting. [...]
Absolutely stunning! Such a beautiful choice of subjects, and truly wonderful work. I love that your daughter helped name him.
Hehe- just stumbled here to the pic, and it does look great. Definitely will agree Eric is a great artist. He did some work on my leg awhile back when he was in Gainesville, and it was great. So I can vouch that anyone in the Morgantown area should check out Wild Zero. Again awesome tattoo (name takes the cake though)
