Wanted to get this tattoo for a little while, love the personal and classic symbolism of crows.

Parts of the outlining hurt more than I was expecting. Some of the shading hurt like a bitch!

I'd not researched much and now I am I see just how much some some people say the chest hurts! I agree with them.

The artist was great and reassuring, Took her around 2 hours and can't wait to see it once the second skin comes off and it's all healed.

Tattoo by Pippa at Fates & Fury Tattoo, Sheffield, UK.

Hardcore dude. Chest line work is the WORST tattoo pain IMO. Good work

Now I've been through it, I'm glad I didn't do to much research, I might have backed out.

Nice tattoo. I’m glad you labeled it to avoid confusion with other animals like shrimps or land cows

Or worse of all, a jackdaw.

Thanks 😁

The name is also a surname that's important to me

Lovely detail work, how much was it? Been a good 25 years since I had ink

It looks great, nice. Where'd you come across the design originally?

I went back and forth with AI and quite a curated prompt to generate this.
