Tattooed frog

Tattooed frog in jar



The only way to become a better artist is to practice your art, but what do you do if you’re a tattooist without a client on the day’s schedule? You stay sharp by tattooing an ethically acquired bullfrog.

Jeremiah Loui from Iron Works Tattoo in Portsmouth, NH inks up these amphibians while Amber Maykut of Brooklyn, NY preserves them in 10 inch vintage mason jars. The result is curious piece of artwork sure to put any typical jarred frog to shame.

The best part of it all, the tattoo is totally customizable. Whether you’re looking for a classic skull or to immortalize “Mom” on the belly of a bespoke bullfrog, Jeremiah can make your twisted idea a reality.
