The commitment required for large scale tattoo work is certainly commendable — the amount of time it takes along with the pain and cost over multiple sessions makes the completed piece not only a triumph of art, but also a triumph over various hurdles along the way. A full sleeve project is one of these large scale projects and is one of the most visible you can get — making it important to get the right artwork from the right artist!
That’s the case in this fantastic sleeve featuring all different sorts of World War II fighter and bomber aircraft. You can see famous planes like the P-51 Mustang, B-17 Flying Fortress, P-47 Thunderbolt, and SBD Dauntless here.
The awesome sleeve was created by artist Jason Leisge of Oddball Studios in Portland, OR.

Hey Alfred – Sorry about the problems, the site has been causing us a healthy bit of problems. If I can read your IP address right, I think you’re in New England. If you ARE in that neck of the woods, I’d recommend Jesse Rix at Secret Lake Tattoo in Keene, NH as we featured him here in this post: http://www.tattoosinflight.com/2009/05/12/scooter-skin-art-douglas-a-4-skyhawk-tattoo/ and he clearly has talent for the Vietnam Era jet age. Their website is http://www.secretlaketattoo.com – good luck!
