Today a man whose romantic intentions have been often betrayed came in for this unique tattoo. A claddagh with one hand gesturing in resignation, a sword representing the battlefield that love can become, a pierced heart shedding a drop of blood.
Tree of Faith Celtic Tattoo
Today's tattoo is this unique expression of Christian faith, for a man recently graduated from the university and beginning his true adult life. The blending of the tree of life with the cross, rising from a Celtic trinity knot, is something I had never been asked to do before and came together nicely.

Celtic Tree and Claddagh Tattoo
Today a returning client added more and defined an end to his sleeve by putting a claddagh bracelet at the bottom. He is now forever a bachelor, eternally offering his heart to the ladies, while teasing them with his romantic nature expressed in the rose. On the flip side is a tree of life growing from the band, expressing his connection to his Celtic heritage.

Celtic Viking Shield CoverUp Tattoo
Today a man whose $35 at 16 years old bought him a dancing beer can tattoo finally outgrew the symbol of his miscreant youth. Almost 50 years later, and Mr Beer Can is gone, and in its place a warrior shield representing the success he has made of his life in the years since. This was one day's work, and so the colors are not as vibrant as they will be after a second pass, but the effectiveness of the cover-up cannot be questioned....... where WAS that can?
