Apollo is one my favorite characters in Greek Mythology; he is recognized as the "god" of archery, and some of the other arts. When it comes to tattooing mythological pieces I think simplicity should be at the forefront of the design, especially when tattooing statues (which require a lot of detail) in doing this you're able to push and pull contrast, and allow for the small details to really shine.
I completed this Apollo Statue in about 8/9 hours. I took a slight minimalist approach on the design to highlight the key features of the face, and threw in a few a more elements to elevate the overall look of the piece.
Let me know in the comments below what you think about this tattoo, if you liked the video, as well well what tattoo you would like to see me do next in the near future.
I appreciate all the love and support!
