Today a man with Nordic heritage requested these writhing wyverns to fill a space on the back of his forearm, one more step towards his goal of a full sleeve. Starting with heads designed by the ever-popular Coin Dale, I drew Celtic knotwork bodies to span elbow to wrist, and interact with a knotwork bracelet already in place.

Today I did a local landmark for the very first time! The beautiful Old Mission is a revered symbol of the city, and I can't explain why no one has EVER asked me to do it before.... but this sentimental local finally made the request.
Mission Santa Barbara Tattoo by Pat FIsh
"The icon of Santa Barbara, Old Mission Santa Barbara is a world-class destination for anyone interested in how Santa Barbara began. Founded by the Franciscan Friar Fermín de Lasuén on the Feast of St. Barbara, December 4th, 1786, Old Mission Santa Barbara, also known as the Queen of the Missions, has a history unlike any other landmark."-http://www.santabarbaramission.org
Today a returning client brought in this quite compelling Viking style Thor's hammer pattern. Working around his other tattoos was a challenge, so we straddled the outside of the elbow area of his arm. A MOST unusual placement, but the only spot left that could give us enough space for all the intricate weaving.

A while back, we got the big idea to create a map of where clients travel from to get their permanent souvenirs at Tattoo Santa Barbara. Watch the video below to check it out:
It is very flattering to see how many clients have travelled across the state, country, and even the world to become LuckyFish Patrons in the last couple of years.
Here are some happy clients adding pins after their tattoos. If you haven't yet, Make an Appointment today and add yours!!
