Oops I’ve been a bad boy. I forgot both this woman’s name AND the name of the tattooer. Just thought it’d still be worth posting…
I will find out about the name of the tattooer though. Will re-post about it later. Sorry again.

Virgil Finlay (1914 – 1971) was a pulp fantasy, science fiction and horror illustrator. While he worked in a range of media, from gouache to oils, Finlay specialized in, and became famous for, beautifully detailed pen-and-ink drawings accomplished with abundant stippling and cross-hatching. Despite the very labor-intensive and time-consuming nature of his specialty, Finlay created more than 2600 works of graphic art in his 35-year career.
