I was thinking that this was something you did for an old class. It certainly seemed older than usual. I am impressed because I think this is the first time I've reviewed a tattoo. I myself would never get one. I just don't like the idea of permanent stuff on me. Anyway, this is a very nice design. I can't even recognize your standard style at all.
I imagine that's supposed to be hair, but it resembles tentacles. It looks like it could be the head of a dragon as opposed to a mask. Of course, it could also be a dragon mask. Was this wood you made this on? It certainly doesn't look like skin.
