A fireman getting close to retirement requested a dragon rising as a phoenix from flames. Last month we began by putting on a Celtic band with flames weaving through and out from it, then in this session today we added a dinosaur style dragon with upraised wings conforming to the shape of his shoulder. A tribute to his years of service, and his intimate knowledge of the power of fire.

Today I added color to this oak tree tattoo, and made the fox in her den vivid with the addition of reds and oranges. Often when I do trees it is so important that they are a particular species, especially oaks, that I find myself making outsized leaves to identify them. Here I used dots, and I think the result looks more like light dappling through the canopy.

'Fox Den' Celtic Tattoo by Pat Fish
Today a man requested a Celtic sword flanked with a pair of cats representing the duality of experience, the benign and the fierce. With the quality of a family crest, his idea of a sword cutting through chaos is here united with a triquetra from which flames are rising and creating light and clarity.

Today a client returned after 9 years to complete a promise to himself. He had come to me way back then to get his father's Devlin family crest, and almost immediately realized he wanted to get his mother's Sullivan crest also. It took a long time, but when his work sent him back West from New York this week it was time to finally time to get the second crest on the other arm. It was difficult to render all those tiny animals in a relatively small tattoo, but it had to be done!
