The color and shading on this lion are surprisingly rich for a 3x3 piece—the mane almost looks like it’s moving when the light hits it. I’ve had it about two weeks and the lines still look crisp, which was my main worry with a smaller tattoo.

The 3x3 size sits perfectly on my forearm, and the detail in the lion's mane looks sharp from a few feet away. I’ve had it for two weeks and the ink hasn’t faded or blurred at all.

The bold lines really pop against my skin, and the 3x3 size fits neatly on my shoulder without overwhelming the area. You can almost hear the roar when you look at it, it’s got that commanding presence I wanted.
