Cheshire Cat Tattoo

Cheshire Orla writes, “I’m a Zoology undergrad in Dublin, Ireland. I got this tattoo of an orangutan to ensure that, even if they die out in the wild, which seems to be quite likely, they’ll still be remembered. The noblest of the apes sits on my lap forever.”

It is quite possible that I am crazy, yes, but I’m okay with that. Since this tattoo, I’ve had another orang done, just below it, and I’m planning on getting more in the future!

The artist who did the tattoo is John in Inkwell Tattoo, Dublin, Ireland. He’s fantastic with colour, and he stayed true to my original drawing, which I really appreciate.
