Khalil's Organic Biomechanical Arm

One thing regular readers may notice is that I tend to prefer singular tattoos, as opposed to larger "concept" pieces. This preference is what you see illustrated here on Tattoosday.<br /><br />However, once in a while, I see work  that, although atypical of our content, is irresistible.<br /><br />Just check out Khalil's sleeve, which I captured one day after work in Penn Station:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidL1XbD-alROB30Isc_cD3EbCu2_Q1lkbPklXm8oqVDAV-xcp0gHgCpO-xeqIAavPoT5_o8WRkfFtVGM-9HlHhaf5KaLCbfl0ISBxwA7Isrk0JSWr3rxthP2RrCZQmHMJ02fvU6I54/s1600/biomech+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidL1XbD-alROB30Isc_cD3EbCu2_Q1lkbPklXm8oqVDAV-xcp0gHgCpO-xeqIAavPoT5_o8WRkfFtVGM-9HlHhaf5KaLCbfl0ISBxwA7Isrk0JSWr3rxthP2RrCZQmHMJ02fvU6I54/s640/biomech+wm.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><br />Representing thirty-two hours of work by <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=95382&id=87631071827&ref=mf#%21/album.php?aid=95382&id=87631071827">Mike Boissoneault</a> at <a href="http://www.blacklotusstudios.com/">Black Lotus Tattoo Studios</a>, in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, Khalil explained that this vision represents a spin on a biomechanical design, "but more organic".<br /><br />To him, in a world in which people are becoming less human, this tattoo reminds him to be human.<br /><br />Here's a "fresher" shot from the Black Lotus website:<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkw1UNy774D6FG3aNTjWL8JnuaZuKJ12ISTkhzHU54Ylr8JgNZmXyeuVpzzDzeEhNzaYSEIha-WiHcdgRTNNNRVspJZhChHS3Mt6IQlBykG2r-e5n1epmEx0CMn1TwP6OE-uwLcvUj/s400/mike020.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="400" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Tattoo by Mike Boissoneault © 2008 Black Lotus Tattoo Studios</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkw1UNy774D6FG3aNTjWL8JnuaZuKJ12ISTkhzHU54Ylr8JgNZmXyeuVpzzDzeEhNzaYSEIha-WiHcdgRTNNNRVspJZhChHS3Mt6IQlBykG2r-e5n1epmEx0CMn1TwP6OE-uwLcvUj/s1600/mike020.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div><br />Thanks again to Khalil for sharing this amazing work with us here on Tattoosday!
