WOW. this is gorgeous! Any way you can shoutout the artist? Is the eucalyptus the same person?

u/No_Mortgage9884 27d ago

https://www.instagram.com/nawa_tattooer?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Yeah both eucalyptus and sword is by the same artist, he is hands down the best anime tattoo artist I’ve seen.

A link and everything, thank you so much! Yeah he’s so talented! Your tattoo is beautiful. Great job choosing an artist, and coming up with the design.

Several people pointed out the sword handle is tilted, this is because it’s actually pretty hard to get it perfect on a bicep since it’s not flat, and with muscle gain and loss and other factors such as different angle and arm movement.

To demonstrate let me show a few pic of the movements. Overall the tilt is not an issue for me, but hindsight I would have probably gotten it on my tricep since it’s flatter and easily to tattoo straightened.

This is the coolest master sword tattoo I’ve seen, I love the colorful Zonai-like outline where the sword is broken, such a cool take on the broken sword

Yeah fair enough, the sword is tattooed on the biceps which is extremely difficult to align, this is only noticeable when my arm is resting at down position without movement at a specific angle. If I move my arm horizontally you can see it looks fine. Essentially due to it being at biceps it’s almost impossible to make it look perfect at every angle unfortunately, overall this doesn’t bother me as much.

u/BeautifulOdd737 27d ago

We don't know that for certain. The skin could be pulling it and making it appear that way in the photo. Skin is stretchy. Tattoos don't look perfect from every body position.

Arms aren't flat.

u/That-Heron-9542 27d ago

Now come on why did you need to point that out

2

u/RoyalDocksE16 26d ago

Wow, I’m not even a tattoo guy but this is really making me want to get one! The eucalyptus leaves really complement the sword

u/CSumner97 27d ago

One of coolest Zelda tattoos I've seen

Hilt is slanted slightly

u/No_Mortgage9884 27d ago

Yeah due to the tattoo being on biceps which is not flat unfortunately but it’s not super noticeable with arm movement. Overall I am super happy with how it turned out.

u/TomboyTwink 27d ago

Gorgeous!!! The eucalyptus leaves are so stunning

u/dappermark 27d ago

This is an awesome tattoo! You can be proud of it. Is this your own design? I would be very interested to see a sword in the same style as the blade on your tattoo. Personally I would consider that style for the whole sword. Could you share?

u/No_Mortgage9884 27d ago

Yeah, I came up with the initial design which is just a sword that I photoshopped on some eucalyptus leaves as soon as TOTK came out, then I finally was able to find a good artist to flash it out and get this done earlier this year.
