Inked Oil Paintings

Shawn Barber's Tattoo Portraits Brings Together Body, Fine Art

I love art and I love tattoos. You would think I could be a tattoo artist, but I have no artistic talent, so I will simply resign myself to getting tattoos and admiring them on others.

Capturing artists and people who like to get them, these tattoo portraits are incredible. Amazingly lifelike, and not afraid to get gritty and real, they show what a tattoo fanatic really is. Heck, he even did one of Kat von D.
