Lion Tattoos

Lions are almost always asked for as portraits, and portraits are the hardest thing in tattooing to get right. The mane gives an artist room to show off, but the eyes decide whether it works. Crowns, geometric halos and roses are the usual additions. Give it size — a detailed lion crammed small loses the detail that made it worth doing.
