Whale shark & waves

This whale shark and waves tattoo by Aurelio Dinorog III puts a marine animal into moving water as a memory of Bohol. The waves have to support the animal rather than compete with it, so the composition is planned around the curve of the body area.\n\nIsland-inspired work like this is custom: scale, flow, and how much of the shark remains visible all depend on the placement you send. Include your Panglao dates and any remaining dive or boat days so the studio can time the sitting after the wet part of the trip.\n\nAftercare follows the path given at the chair. Related ocean realism from AU Ink, including the standalone whale shark portrait, is linked below.
