tatttoo design

I did the names of my dear friend Fay's son and daughter

on the outside of each of her feet.

'JesseJane' is spelled as one name, and there is also

supposed to be an 'i' between the second 's' and the 'e'

in 'Jessie'. Fay only noticed it afterwards, and the missing

letter was added and it really isn't noticeable, luckily!

No typos with Kane's name. Both of them came out really nicely,

and Fay say like a real trooper, considering where these are!

This 'All Seeing Eye' was Dave Nicholson's

piece de resistance to bring my sleeve all

the way down to wrap around my hand.

Dave did an incredible job of blending the shapes

of the fire and smoke that were already there.

I had these Polynesian tribal lotus symbols done on my hands

by Rose who works out of Parksville. Beautiful!

A banner with the inscription 'Firefly Goddess'

that is held on each side by the classic old

school swallows that were already there.

Designed, approved, stenciled, and tattooed

between midnight and 3:30 AM.

This is one of the most complex and detailed tattoos

I have attempted thus far, and I was extremely happy

with the results! Laura is too! A friend of mine, Che-Che,

sent me a photo of a very similar tattoo that he is interested

in getting. I showed it to Laura, and before long there it was!

Beautiful!

A new Hummingbird design for Sid. His brother is also getting

a hummingbird tattoo, they are for their mother...

My friend Leanne asked me if I'd like to do a portrait of her

four beautiful kids for her, as a fairly large back upper back piece.

This is my first stab at the design, and she hasn't seen it yet.

(This is only a Photoshopped rendition of what the

final tattoo might look like)

I think the flowers really add some warmth to it....
