{From End Of March‘s gorgeous Book of Ships}
Narwhals, the unicorns of the sea! I like their cute little horned faces so much I got one on my arm. Crappy picture, but this little beast is an absolute work of art. Exquisite. I am so happy to have him on my left arm.
I wasn’t planning a tattoo, but you know, it was rainy and I didn’t want to go to yet another film (three in three days). Tattoos are generally indoor activities, right? So yeah, NARWHAL!
[Super big thanks to Mike Lucena from Flyrite Tattoo in Brooklyn. What a pro.]

Narwhals are pretty much one of the most under appreciated animals ever, but I do love them so! Sweet tattoo!
This is a really stupid question, but is it a real tattoo? :)
Michelle: Definitely real! x
It is amazing! I love the old fashioned encyclopaedia look of it.
Not keen sorry – will ge fatter as your arms get fatter.

Hello,
I love love love your drawing of the narwhal ship and I was wondering if I could have your blessing to use it as a tattoo. I’m very serious. I have a lot of really unique tattoos and this would make the perfect addition and my first leg tatt :)
Ehm, isn’t it on your right arm actually?
Nope. I just checked – definitely my left.
I have been looking everywhere for someone who shares my love of natuical creatures quite sometime, think you may be my match. Cara sent me your link. :)
nautical even. Kind of messed my point up. :S
Where did you find that image of the pony/whale blend? I’d like to use it.
