Wanted to get this tattoo for a little while, love the personal and classic symbolism of crows.

Parts of the outlining hurt more than I was expecting. Some of the shading hurt like a bitch!

I'd not researched much and now I am I see just how much some some people say the chest hurts! I agree with them.

The artist was great and reassuring, Took her around 2 hours and can't wait to see it once the second skin comes off and it's all healed.

Nice tattoo. I’m glad you labeled it to avoid confusion with other animals like shrimps or land cows

Or worse of all, a jackdaw.

Thanks 😁

The name is also a surname that's important to me

Lovely detail work, how much was it? Been a good 25 years since I had ink

It looks great, nice. Where'd you come across the design originally?

I went back and forth with AI and quite a curated prompt to generate this.
