Ivan's Sleeve: Doom, Zombies, and The Joker

Last month I met Ivan in Penn Station, and I took a bunch of photos of his right arm, fully-sleeved. There's a lot going on here, so let's take a look:

And the inner part of the sleeve:


Ivan's tattoo artist is Larry Davis at Explicit Tattoo in Suffern, New York He also credits Adrienne Levy with the design of the cat on his wrist.

Ivan explains a little bit about his ink:

"The zombie on my shoulder is an original that Larry drew from his imagination. The face with the ragged teeth on my bicep is from the video game Doom. 
 
As for the totem pole-esque image on my forearm, the middle and upper pieces were drawn by the artist Matt Simonetti.
The lower piece was drawn by Micki Fever. Larry did the tattooing, as is true for all my tattoos."
Ivan also has this segment of his sleeve which is noteworthy:


Ivan explained that this tattoo of The Joker and Harley Quinn is based on this illustration by the artist Alex Ross, which appeared on the cover of Batman: Harley Quinn.



Thanks to Ivan for sharing his cool tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
