Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of information on it, as I snapped this on the subway one evening last June, and I wasn't able to record a lot of details.

The talented artist behind this is David Sena from North Star Tattoo in New York City.

Unfortunately, there's not much more I can provide in terms of what went into the work, but the quality of the tattoo speaks for itself.
