    Skull octopus by James Tex

    Had to share this. I had the opportunity to get some work from James Tex at Deadly Tattoos in Calgary, Alberta yesterday. Nice guy, great work and FAST! This was done on the back of my forearm. All og Neo-tats 3.5s. I think he used 3rl, 7rl, 7m and 11m. Done in about 4.5 hours.

    One of my favorites doing it and wow only 4.5! thats awesome. If he's that quick does he charge an hourly or does he have a flat rate? (if you don't mind me asking)

    He charges $200/hr Canadian. Totally reasonable, considering how fast he works. Not to mention the caliber of his work.

    Agreed. Insanely talented, hard working, super humble and a dash of grumpy old guy.
