Description

I always found that Michael blended into the rich life, being a hardened criminal, a bit too easy. To make Michael look a bit rougher, but not stereotypically rough with generic tattoos, I decided to give him very realistic tattoos some what in the style of the famous tattoo artist Jun Cha (please check him out). Jun Cha's admittedly expensive tattoos, in my mind, seem to work quite well as a median between 'rough criminal' and high art in the form of tattooing.

In fact, Jun Cha works in Los Angeles... It's somewhat plausible in a round about way that Michael pencilled in several hour long sessions.

Michael, to me, seems to me to be a character that has a deep guilt for the life he leads now. So I made the themes of his tattoos centered on faith, mercy and forgiveness. So there's quite a bit of angelic stuff going on, much like Jun Cha's work.

Although these designs are somewhat based off of Jun Cha's style, it's definitely not an exact copy, nor is it compositionally as strong as his work. I myself think that the arms, the lower right and upper left arms in particular, come across the best. I am still trying to redo the chest tattoos, when I get the time and inspiration.
