Wade Johnston's engraving style tattoo on the shoulder is a captivating piece that showcases his skill in capturing intricate details and creating a sense of depth. The focal point of the tattoo is a majestic eagle, its powerful form rendered with meticulous linework and shading. The eagle's wings are spread wide, creating a sense of movement and dynamism.

Beneath the eagle, a banner bearing the words "CHICAGO" and "ILLINOIS" adds a personal touch, representing a connection to the city and state. The banner's elegant flow complements the overall style of the tattoo, adding a touch of vintage charm.

The eagle is depicted, perched on a shield, its talons gripping the crest. The wave's form is rendered with a sense of fluidity and motion, suggesting the eagle's powerful presence amidst the turbulent waters. The addition of a flying fish adds another layer of movement and depth to the composition.

Johnston's use of black ink creates a striking contrast against the skin, emphasizing the intricate details of the tattoo. The engraving style, with its precise lines and cross-hatching, gives the tattoo a timeless quality, reminiscent of traditional woodcuts and engravings. The overall effect is a visually stunning and thought-provoking piece that celebrates the power and beauty of nature.
