This tattoo artist at Bob & Charlie Roberts’ Spotlight Tattoo had his work cut out for him with this request.

Open the Portal is a stop motion animation studio in Los Angeles, California. One of the owner’s of the studio decided he wanted an unusual tattoo in honor of the company he built. With the help of friend and co-owner Eadweard Muybridge, he created the design for his tattoo.


The animation strip is of a character from the Open the Portal universe called The Timecrow. They enlisted Sean Allen to complete the piece. The incredible work shows the character tumbling and becoming a clock. Credit: Open the Portal via Storyful
