That’s some bright work!
By Shannon • Aug 10th, 2007 • Category: ModBlogThis piece is on Ben Pass and was done by Watson Atkinson at 13 Roses Tattoo Parlor in Atlanta, Georgia… Not a guy I’m going to hang out with next time I’m on acid… Or at least I’m going to ask him to keep his shirt on.

that is totally intense. i love it.
Amazing, I love it.
i really hope thats not photoshoppingly enhanced. if its not, WOW. if it is, still.. WOW.
Holy crap, that’s so awesome! Really fun to look at :D
damn! not the biggest fan of the design but the color work is remarkable, very very skilled artist behind this piece
i was hoping for a click to see the whole thing
but noooooooo.
its still very amazing
That is farkin’ awesome. And his nipple doesnt look outa place. Loverly.
sorry to burst everyone’s bubble but this is definetly photoshopped. u can tell by the difference between the brightness of the forearm and the chest. regardless its some good work!
That can’t be real - it’s too bright surely !!!
More pics - cause it lookms Awesome !!!
great stuff!!!
I really, really like this. The bright colours and the clear lines are so well done.
I’d love to see pics of the rest as well.
This is so nice. I lovvvve bright colors.
wooaahhh
oh wow. I’m in awe of that color.
wow thats AMAZING,i thought it was a shirt @ first! i wonder if the color is that bright in person tho
The originals are of course in the galleries; this photo is pretty much as it was submitted but I agree the levels have been amped up a bit.
That’s incredible. I really love it; it’s totally my style. It seems to me that his nipple is really close to his armpit. But I don’t care, I love his tattoo!
Ok that tattoo basically looks fake. So you know its a good tattoo because it seriously looks like you can just start pealing it off at any minute.
are you kidding me? if i was on acid i’d spend hours staring at his tattoos! so awesome!
fucking amazing. i LOVE color color color!
Thats beautiful! A bit too busy but still gorgeous
Did you bump up the saturation too, or just the brightness/contrast? Either way it looks great, just curious.
Dope!!!!!!
I like stuff like that. It really draws the eye in.
I know Watson and Ben, and I can assure you this is not Photoshopped. The chest is brighter because it was just completed and healed at the time of the photo. It really is that amazing! (And those asking about seeing the whole piece should know…that is the whole piece.) Ben has his other arm sleeved, though it’s not attached to this.) Fun!
It took me a while to find his nipple. was anyone else looking for it?
actually, that be amazing to look at on acidd
AMAZING COLOURS - I LOVE IT!
Fantastic artwork. Love it.
Holy shit, that’s gorgeous! I hope my colors pop that much when I go in for my cannons!
woww… those colours… I want it! LoL
#26, yes! It blends in so well.
And if you squint just a bit, it really does look like a shirt. It’s so vibrant - I love it!
this is like a huge mishmash of different tattoo themes
an eye spy of tattoos
i see some film, a crankshaft, a dragon, a hand coming out of a an engine, a key on some rope, a zombie woman
That is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.
I love bright and colorful tattoos…
Ooh! How long has he had the sleeve and how well will the color hold up over time?
this is fake, they photoshopped over his nipple
nevermind im just blind
This is INCREDIBLE! I hope I meet this guy when I’m high at a party some time :D
love love love bright tattoos
that is intense. i love the colours so much.
you wouldn’t want to take acid with this guy? why on earth not? he looks like the perfect companion to me! i’d love to take some then stare at this chest for hours!
[...] and BRIGHT chest piece done by Watson Atkinson at 13 Roses Tattoo Parlor in Atlanta, Georgia. See this article from ModBlog for [...]
No photoshop! just a clean shave and some lotion. I see this thing every day and it is as bright now as it was back then. My arm was done 3 years before my chest that is why there is a difference in the color. Watson is known for his bright ass tattoos and crazy subject matter….. go to his website and see for yourself http://WWW.WATSONATKINSON.COM if you want to see more pictures go to my myspace page http://www.myspace.com/benny_will_kill_you
Sorry his website is down right now but you can check out his work on myspace http://www.myspace.com/blndsght
that’s not fake.. i hang out with this guy all the time. it’s as bright in person as it is on here.
to #36, if you think his nip is photoshopped you should look a little harder or possibly get your eyes checked, also this is the whole piece, his other arm is a vegan sleeve that is on here as well. don’t be a hater.
