This is a very, very good example of a memorial pictures tattoo. Every detail of this picture tattoo is intricate, even the very small details. There not a lot of coloring in this, but the shading makes up for the lack of color in this tattoo. The hair is shaded a dark brown color, and the bangs are pronounced. The eyes have a gleam of white in them, as if they are shining. The wrinkles in the sweater are shaded and well defined. The wrinkles on the fingers and hands are shaded, and the nails are well pronounced with a tint of white as though they were gleaming. The name is well defined in the lower left hand corner and easy to read. The facial hair is dark and faded, and the smile lines are well defined. The shadow on the right of the portrait is shaded and fades outwards towards a lighter color. This is one of those portraits that shows what time and a little bit of hard work can do. This tattoo is amazingly detailed, shaded, tinted, and has a real nice motive behind it. This is what a good picture tattoo looks like.
