The second sleeve on Maxence. This one was mostly a challenge because it had to correspond with Vibrant, yet be focused around the Nordic myth of Yggdrasil.
Using brush-strokes to create the tree, and adding the contrasting bindrune and the powerful sunburst was all decisions focusing on “Breaking the mold”, trying to move the tattoo away from how i normally do Nordic art and into a realm more fitting “Vibrant”.
