Celtic Owl Tattoo

A wise owl with a Celtic flair, placed in what is often said to be one of the most painful places on the body. This tough guy never flinched. He brought in a drawing he found online, and search as I might I cannot find out who the original artist is. I changed it quite a bit, adding the knotwork in the body and head, but the superb eyes and ears and general silhouette are from that inspirational owl sketch. I used a combination of line, shading, and dots in both black and brown to give a look that is light on the skin with texture.
