Blind Side Tattoos artist Alfonso Perez has finished Frank Frazetta's iconic "Death Dealer" tattoo. Frank Frazetta was an artist who got his start drawing images for early comics such Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon and became one of the most widely recognized science fiction artists of the 20th century. Frazetta's notoriety brought him commissions from musical artists such as Molly Hatchet to design album art. The Death Dealer became a well known recurring character in many of Frazetta's paintings and the popularity of the character grew to the point where a number of comics and graphic novels were created about the mysterious figure. Alfonso Perez worked for 15 painstaking hours on this masterpiece which is worn by Blind Side Tattoo Apprentice Mark Strong and available to be viewed in person Mon-Sat from 2pm-10pm. The attention to detail in the tattoo is remarkable and is just one more example of the type of top-quality, one-of-a-kind tattoos done at Blind Side Tattoo Studio.
