Complete half sleeve! Well there is a little extra room, but this is a good single design made from two tattoos. The moon was a rescued old tattoo, and everything else is new.

Healed and fresh sketch style tattoos on a white man’s upper, outer arm. At the base of the design is a bat flying there is a group of nine smaller bats flying above the bottom bat. Above the bats on his deltoid is a watery moon design that was turned into a sketch style tattoo. Surrounding everything is stars. The linework on everything but the moon is finer line work.
