Holy crap, look at this guy's amazing Miyazaki sleeve tattoo

One fan's gorgeous tattoo tribute to the master animation auteur.



I thought I was a Hayao Miyazaki fan. Nope. This guy is a Miyazaki superfan. Jean-Pierre Saint-Tran's incredible sleeve tattoo, shared on Instagram, is one hell of a tribute to the revered Japanese director's most iconic animated films, including My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Spirited Away and more.

Friggin' gorgeous.

Finally getting around to posting this! It's been a long journey but my Miyazaki sleeve is finished! If any of y'all are looking to get amazing work done please contact @_planetkurth_ because he does amazing work!

Jean-Pierre tells BuzzFeed that he spent about 32 hours in the chair, spread over a year and a half, while tattoo artist Andy Kurth worked on the sleeve. It set him back about $2,500, plus tips.





Damn. That's a fan.
