Realistic Giraffe Tattoo on the Forearm

This realistic giraffe forearm tattoo was done for a client who already had a few arm tattoos and wanted to stick with smaller, patch-like pieces, so he asked for a smaller piece.

So, it was decided to do just the giraffe and the neck, which ends with a blur so it doesn’t look cut off. To give it a more natural look, the image was done from a profile perspective with a very serene expression, attempting to combine a technically detailed tattoo with visual elegance, bringing to life a piece that appears visually simple, even though it actually took quite a bit of work.
