test phase

This was the first attempt by Tripp Faison of Over Water Clothing. He just took the original line drawing by Paul and made it into a stencil.
And we couldn't just have the Robo Bee all lonesome so we added some circuit-like honeycombs.

the Robo Bee tattoo

by Pirate Paul of Chronic Tattoo

You can see that Paul's creation is significantly altered from the original reference. And then we decided to go with Iron Man colors.

original reference material

I found this image online and included it along with many other images of bees, wasps, hornets, and other stingy insects in a stack of reference material that I gave to several tattoo artist friends. I asked them to create some bees for my knees. Click picture for enlargement.
