The black and gray portrait has become one of the most popular styles of tattooing in recent years.  Perhaps this is due in part to the influence of artists like Tom Renshaw, Bob Tyrell, and the popularity of TV’s Kat Von D.  In any case, the detail achieved in many of these portraits is astonishing and this portrait of a Russian fighter pilot is certainly no exception.

The tattoo was created by Corey Miller of Six Feet Under Tattoo Parlor in Upland, CA.  Miller co-stars on TLC’s L.A. Ink.
