Hello, Dalí! Bryan's Surrealist Sleeve

Last summer, I met Bryan on the Rector Street subway platform. He was kind enough to share a full sleeve of tattoos inspired by the work of Salvador Dalí:


This section is inspired by The Burning Giraffe (1937):


Then, there's this skull:


This was based on a poster Dalí designed for an anti-venereal disease campaign during World War II, dubbed Vagina Dentata:


Of course, everyone is familiar with this Dalí image, from his famous painting The Persistence of Memory:


The bleeding roses in this tattoo


are inspired by this painting:


And then there is this last skull image:


This piece is based on Dalí's The Face of War:


Bryan credited all of the tattoo work to Chris Mason (@chrismasontattoo) at Live Wire Arts (@livewirearts) in West Islip, New York.

Thanks to Bryan for sharing all of this amazing work with us here on Tattoosday!
