africa bug bit me pretty bad. Can’t wait to get back. I’ve always loved lions and have always wanted one. After seeing them in Africa, I decided a realistic lion on my sleeve will be a great addition.

I’m using a realistic tattoo artist who’s incredible. He likes references of true photos of lions and goes from there.

I’ve googled a ton. I’d love to see if y’all had any amazing lion pictures that could go on my sleeve. If I end up with yours... beer on me!
 
Sadly, no lion pictures to share yet.
 
Here are some Lion sketches from Wildlife Artist Marcello Pettineo

I saw this and thought I would show you. The look on the lion's face is what I think is cool. The extent of the tatoo is rather too much in my opinion!

This would be great on one of the side panels of a double rifle. Wonder if there would be copyright issues though. :unsure:

Whoever has done that lion has got a fantastic facial attitude for him. Superb confident arrogance backed by ability
