“I did a total of 76 tattoos to achieve this scene from Betty Boop Snow White. The original was made by Fleischer studios in 1933 using the rotoscope technique to recreate Cab Calloway dancing to the St. James infirmary song. Huge thanks to all those who came and got tattooed for this project,” he wrote while sharing the video.
