Today the perky little Celtic hummingbird flew again, onto the ankle of a woman who now has a memorial to her mother with this bright jewel that was her mom's favorite bird. We even used Mom's initials to represent the feet, the kind of tiny personalized detail that can come to mean so much in a customized bespoke tattoo.

Recently a woman who had gotten a much too small tattoo on the wrist (that subsequently blurred) came in to cover it. With the magic of Celtic knotwork she now wears a lovely bracelet, surmounted with the name of her beloved. It is NOT always necessary to have a black blob to cover a black blob..... sometimes we can reduce a black spot to a slight blur under something prettier.
Today I installed this new custom shamrock, a concept requested by the client. He asked for the fatherhood knot morphed into the three leaves of a shamrock, something I was pleased to weave together into this pleasing pattern. He has two kids and another on the way, so all three children are celebrated here.

Today I expanded on a sleeve begun 2 years ago by adding a complementary wide band of knotwork. The initial circle and knots were an ambitious choice for a woman, but now she has greatly enhanced the piece and gone where few gals have with a Celtic half-sleeve.
