Realistic Tattoo of a Science Fiction Movie Character

Who doesn’t remember the movie “Ghostbusters,” a mid-1980s cinematic icon that blended comedy, science, and paranormal themes.

The funniest character was undoubtedly the ectoplasm called “Slimer”,” who, unlike the other ghosts, wasn’t dangerous at all; he was simply always hungry and constantly looking for food.

This piece is a tribute to what a film-loving client of that era wanted to have on his own skin. What better version than this one, holding a slice of pizza dripping in an exaggerated way, with that cartoonish expression that gives it a comical yet grotesque quality.

In this tattoo, a lot of grays have been played with in an attempt to achieve that viscous, gelatinous texture of the body, as well as the shine that visually gives it an almost wet appearance. As with all realistic tattoos, what is very important is the precision of small details, such as the drops falling from the pizza or the moisture in the mouth.
