Carlos wanted a very unique and interesting interpretation of the concept of commitment, after learning that some bees sacrifice their lives when they decide to sting. He wanted to depict the bee unraveling while trying to remove his stinger and fly away, so I consulted the brilliant work of muralist Nychos for inspiration when drawing my design. This photo shows the tattoo healed after one 5 hour session.
