Realistic Eagle Tattoo Design

I’m ready to turn a clear idea into ink and need a skilled tattoo artist–illustrator to create a realistic-style design that will sit comfortably on a medium-sized placement such as my forearm or shoulder. The composition I have in mind features a powerful eagle in flight, a rugged mountain backdrop, and streaks of lightning cutting through the sky. I want the piece to feel dynamic and lifelike, with careful attention to feather detail, natural textures in the rock face, and believable light reflections in the storm clouds. ( not as dark as the photo)

A few practical notes: the final art should be delivered as a high-resolution, print-ready file (300 dpi, layered PSD or vector preferred) along with a flattened preview JPEG. Please ensure the proportions suit a forearm wrap but can also be adjusted slightly for a shoulder cap. Colour is welcome if it enhances realism, though I’m equally open to a dramatic black-and-grey treatment—feel free to suggest which will translate best to skin.

Once I approve an initial sketch, I’ll need one round of refinements before you render the polished line work and shading. If you’ve handled similar wildlife or nature compositions, I’d love to see them in your portfolio.
