I ran into Doug in Penn Station a couple weeks back and he offered up this, one of seven tattoos:
He said that this tattoo, which represents twelve hours worth of work, is based on a Japanese demon he spotted while poring over a book on medieval manuscripts.
There's no real specific meaning behind it, he just liked the design, especially how different it was from other demons one typically sees in Japanese art.
The tattoo was created at Cross Creek Tattoo Gallery in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
Thanks to Doug for sharing this amazing piece with us here on Tattoosday!
