Josh Presley, 32, is a tattoo artist living in Tampa, Florida! and I’m a tattoo artist living in Tampa, Florida!

Josh loves doing these shelled insect tattoos on this area of the body, because it creates such a life like image!

"It works particularly well with shelled insects to display wing expansion" said Josh.

"This particular tattoo concept came to me from a client that wanted a beetle opening up and changing into another design. By laying out a beetle with a closed shell on her outer arm/elbow area, then opening and completing the rest of the design, these articulated concepts can look as though it’s a completely different tattoo with the arm bent or open!" said Josh.

He has since done the same with a June bug and Ladybird tattoo, as seen in this video!

These videos were filmed in January 2019.
