2. More amazing detail. Here they have a landscape reflected in the eye. The colors are gorgeous and the little elephant is a great touch.
By Stefano Alcantara
3. This is a nice one in black and grey. It had to be difficult to achieve this level of detail on the hand. A realism tattoo in this location would most likely require touch ups over the years to keeping it looking it’s best.

4. Very pretty blue eye with the reflection of some stars.

5. A fantastic smoky eye. The golden flecks in the iris are beautiful.
