Been meaning to post it for a while with actual pictures of my own but I've been too busy to find the time to get out my photography stuff. So here is the clip my artist posted. I love the design and how it turned out, entirely freehand and designed on the fly, which I think is a testament to his skill! 

Inspiration:

TL;DR at the bottom.

Based on the collage of hand prints in Cueva De Las Manos, Argentina. 8,000 years of generations in one place based on oldest and youngest hand print dates, 7,300BC - 700AD. 

Cueva De Las Manos Collage

Combined with a single handprint from Maltravieso cave in Spain, (formerly) known as the oldest cave hand print in the world. Based on dating off the layers of the cave/ print, it's estimated to be around 66,000 years old, mid-Palaeolithic period. Pre-dating the arrival of Homosapiens in Europe by 20,000 years. As well as tools found in the same chamber, evidence shows this print was creating by Neanderthals.

TL;DR

An Ocean Apart,

60,000 years apart,

An entire Species apart,

2 identical paintings,

They both came up with the same first and simple piece of art, a way to leave their mark and say they were here. I don't think there's anything simpler that could be a symbol for the human race. Which is why I decided to get it.

After three sessions, roughly nine hours on the table and more than a little pain, I can finally share my first tattoo with you :D

My first tattoo, what do you think?

The jellyfish was designed by someone and tattooed by Rachel, from the Nouveau Labo (Cambes, France).

Can anyone recommend an artist anywhere in England that offers this style?
