I had the good fortune of meeting Mike outside of Penn Station last week and, despite first noticing him because of his leg tattoos, he was extremely generous and unveiled an incredible sleeve that covered his right arm:
Mike is a fisherman and a loves the brightness, color and variety of oceanic life. Such things translate well to the body's canvas and make for some amazing tattoo work...
The giant octopus actually curls up over his shoulder and onto his chest, with one tentacle moving down his arm....
The deep sea diver punctuates the middle of his arm...
At the bottom of the arm are tropical motifs including a huge tiki god and a hibiscus....
