I put a lot of thought into who I wanted to do my sleeve. There were artists closer but Sean's style, colors, depth, imagination and drive to push himself ever onward and upward really appealed to me so I booked my first two day session with him, traveling from Maine it was definitely a commitment.
Sean and his wife reached out and discussed my idea before hand to make sure he was nailing my vision, and when I got there he was very receptive to any changes to the design and was more than capable to free hand off of references to make it perfect.
Aside from Sean's immense skill and talent at what he does, I was pleasantly surprised at how much of a straight up genuine, down to earth friendly dude who made me feel at home and as comfortable as possible. Sean is the type of dude who you can just chat with for hours and make you feel right at home.
Something that I think really stands out from Sean is his drive to always better himself and take his artwork to the next level, always searching for new techniques, new ways of aftercare, and always keeping his skill honed to a razor edge.
Sean put in some serious hours these past couple sessions, making me feel even more like the expense of traveling from out of state was worth every penny. I'm sure he felt like he was going cross eyed towards the end but his work never faltered!
I'm two, two day sessions into this sleeve and I will be back for a third!
Shout out to Nicole as well, Sean's lovely wife doing so much of the behind the scenes work to make things run...

Ā Ā Ā Read moreSean Foy and Dark Moon Gallery are incredible to work with. I contacted the gallery about getting a dinosaur skull tattoo and the experience from start to finish far surpassed anything I could have hoped for. From the details surrounding the initial design, the tattoo itself, and all the way through the pre and post tattoo instructions, the process was seamless and efficient. I can't even tell you how many compliments I receive on the brilliant piece of art that was bestowed upon me here. Sean and his wife Nicole take amazing care of their clients and they truly care about every aspect of the experience. I'm so beyond excited to see the shop is growing and more phenomenal artists are being added and I can't wait to return next month for more work from this...
