It’s always a trip when we see someone get an Ironlak logo, can, or related imagery tattooed on their body. This commitment to be permanently adorned with artwork in any way related to the Lak is beyond humbling to us.
We just received these amazing photos from Mr Wany of a new tattoo created in Spain, by Joaquín Bonilla, featuring the artwork Wany created a few years back for his Wanyology Blood Limited Edition Artist Series Ironlak can. The tattoo is impressive. We love the character, complete with Wanyology Blood orange horns, and bloodshot eyes.
Wany asked the tattoo artist, Joaquín Bonilla, to tell us the concept behind the tattoo:
“I tell you my friend, my name is Joaquín Bonilla, I’m a tattoo artist from Seville, Spain.”
“This was the second convention that my client had come to me to get a tattoo from my hands, so I already knew how to make something more personal, and I knew his tastes. While he was being tattooed the first time, we talked, and he told me that he was starting to tattoo. I asked him if he drew and so on. And he answered that the first thing he started drawing was graffiti and that you were one of his idols since he discovered your unique and unmistakable style.”
“When preparing this design, I found the image of this incredible spray can, and I thought it was just what my client would like to wear on his skin. That’s how it went! An absolute treat for my client, and for the entire audience of the convention. My client was crazy when he saw the tattoo.”
“As a tattoo artist, I have to say that I have enjoyed this design very much since the beginning. Thank you very much again for everything. Never stop doing your art because you see that there are people who admire you so much, as to put your work on their skin.” – Joaquín Bonilla
Wany offers us a parting thought: “It’s dope for me and a really impressive tattoo. Usually, I love to do my tattoo style by myself, but I don’t have too much time for that. I do one or two tattoos each month. So, to find an original one is quite rare.” –Mr Wany.
