Yeah… that’s five sessions. One artist. One human back turned into an ancient cosmic Egyptian masterpiece.

Ray Hawse at The Tattoo Nation in Bowie, Maryland took a blank canvas and built a captivating pharaoh and horace with galaxies in his headdress, a calm goddess below, planets swirling through the robes, and white-ink gold that actually shines. The detail is insane. The movement when the client breathes? Next level.

This is why people fly in to get tattooed by Ray.
