Today a woman requested a custom shamrock with leaves evoking hearts, picking out a knot she liked best and asking me to morph it into the three leaves forming the shape she wanted. On to the challenge! Always glad to add a new shamrock design to the assortment. She was obviously a very pale Irish gal, so she could get the brightest green of all!

Today an esteemed returning client came to complete a set of Scythian style animal tattoos. We had previously done a leaping stag on his right leg, and of course he yearned for symmetry. Today we added a pouncing wolf, drawn to mimic the spiral forms and dotting in the stag.

This evening a dentist with an eye for precision decided on this ancient La Tene design for a delicate anklet. It flows with the body, tumbles across the tendons, and moves with her as she steps forward.

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.
