Realistic Tattoo of Two Gorillas on the Forearm

This piece is one of the classic references in realistic tattoos and is also one of the best options when it comes to covering an old tattoo because with all those layers of black, it’s easy to hide what’s underneath. Specifically, it features an adult gorilla accompanied by its baby, surrounded by palm leaves.

The expressiveness of the animals is almost photographic, as is the detail in the wrinkled skin and the tender gaze. The minute precision of every detail is impressive, such as the wrinkles and every nuance in the baby’s eyes. The contrast between the black and the depigmented areas also highlights the animals’ expressions.

All of this is framed or incorporated with palm leaves, which act as a natural frame and also give rhythm and breathing space to the tattoo.
