Horiyama finished up this vibrant Snake Sleeve this week for her lovely client Albert!
The main subject is a Hebi (Snake), a common subject matter used in Traditional Japanese tattooing, paired with Sakura (Cherry Blossom flowers) and wind bars/ clouds as the background detail. It also features a Namakubi (severed head) on the underarm.
