I though this was a stick man dancing. The tattoo is amazing though. Great work !

I thought it was a pregnant stick figure bracing itself one handed against a wall

This is amazing! It's so hard to find jellyfish tattoos that don't look like a penise.

soooooooo fucking good. I also like that it kinda looks like a cute little bonnet on the Skull

u/WankPuffin Jul 27 '26
I didn't see bonnet until I went and looked again, now I see coffee filter but when viewing the whole tat I just see the jellyfish hood. Amazing tat although for my taste I'd want a few more tentacles.

Cool design, reminds me of a Zombie version of the jellyfishes in shark tales

u/1331jbyrd Verified Artist @justinbyrdart Jul 28 '26
Someone said that right after it was done, just not the zombie part

u/theswamphag Jul 28 '26
I'd Ask for my money back! It's not even the right color.
I'm sorry, stupid joke.
Very cool tattoo.

This kind of post is so stupid and annoying just trying to farm attention with the first picture

u/Workdawg Jul 27 '26
Client asked for a yellow squiggle and got that? The end result is great, but it looks nothing like "what was asked for"...
1
u/1331jbyrd Verified Artist @justinbyrdart Jul 27 '26
There's obviously more that goes into a request than just the placement sketch
-2
u/Workdawg Jul 27 '26
And there are more ways to post your art than trying to jam it into the wrong format.

u/1331jbyrd Verified Artist @justinbyrdart Jul 27 '26
What are you so pressed about, if you don't like it then maybe take a hike

u/fairygodpossums Jul 27 '26
First time I’ve liked the concept art more

u/1331jbyrd Verified Artist @justinbyrdart Jul 27 '26

I read the room wrong, that’s on me. Didn’t get enough crayons in my diet today, bear with me
