OMFG! Look what happened to my upper left arm!!111one

Yup, I am Tattoo Lou now. I had been mulling over a tattoo of Robin Hood for quite some time, and on December 26, 2009, I went out and did it. I couldn't be happier with the way it came out.

A million thanks to Cirrus Kitfox for designing the original artwork for this tattoo, and to Brandi at Atomic Tattoo for her infinite patience and willingness to customize the colors that went into inking it. She and I discovered together that the color for the inside of Robin's ears and the patches around his eyes don't occur anywhere in nature; it took mixing six different colors, but she got it exactly right for me.

Oh, and the quote of the year happened at the tattoo shop. One of the other tattoo artists walked in as we were finishing up, and he said, "Okay, to me THAT is Robin Hood. Fuck Errol Flynn." :)

The original artwork for this tattoo can be viewed at THIS LINK.
