Prey mantis tattoo

Great combination of a preying mantis with mountain scene in the wings placed on the shin just under the knee - come to Boise - we're a 5-star tattoo studio.

✨Mantis✨ Day 10. of following my own #drawingparade2024 prompts this month 🙂 Today’s drawing barely got done in time, but it was a special one. This spring me and my fam raised a little bebe mantis from right when she was born, and then promptly got super attached. She passed a few days ago sadly, and I’m surprised how much I miss that little bug. She liked hanging out on your shoulder, cleaned herself very much like a cat, and watched us like a curious little alien. I’ll have to draw her…
