Steven came to Lighthouse Tattoo as a referral from another great client of ours, Nick, who had gotten quite a bit of impressive work from Will himself. A few months later and this sleeve dedicated to Steven’s love of ancient Greek culture was complete.

(We have to apologize for some of the photo quality, as a couple of the shots pale in comparison to the actual work when viewed in person, but hey, we’re tattooers, not photographers, what’re ya gonna do?

The sleeve begins with portraits of the Greek philosophers Socrates and Thales of Miletus; descending through an Ouroborus on his elbow (not pictured) on to a depiction of Altas (his son’s namesake) on the top of his forearm. His bicep is covered with the sculpture of Perseus with the head of Medusa, completing the piece.

Steven’s not finished there however, as he has plans for building his body of work with copies of some of the greatest Renaissance and contemporary artwork in the world. Such a joy to work with a fellow connoisseur! See you again real soon Steven!
