Bread Fork Tattoo

Today a local purveyor of fine quality breads came in for his business logo tattooed as a permanent brand on his arm. The Victorian bread fork, used as a serving utensil for sliced bread or rolls, is a compelling and mysterious image. His bakery cafe is located in a rural cow town, so now he is embracing the cowboy tradition of a brand tattoo!

Clan Ross Crest Badge Tattoo

Today a returning client came to get an ethnic tattoo, the badge for the Scottish Clan Ross. Their motto, inscribed here in Latin, translates to "Success Nourishes Hope." Like a family crest, but worn by all members of a Clan, badges are a connection to the proud and noble heritage of the Scots.
