Today an adventurous woman completed this ambitious half-sleeve, a union of fire with Celtic knotwork. An unusual request, a challenging collaboration between artist and client to bring her vision to life. Next month we will begin the complementary water version on the other side.

Today a mechanic with en eye for precision requested this symmetrical knot, and I used varied line widths, wicker-shading, and tiny dots to create a small dimensional tribute to his affinity for balance.

Today, a PhD professor of Materials Science came to get this eccentric tattoo. In addition to being occupationally relevant, each of the three equations represents the initials one of his three children.
The first describes the conservation of linear momentum, the second is a variation of Gauss's Law (relating to electric flux), and the third is known as the "J-integral" and is used to predict the spreading of fractures in a material.
Today I was able to complete a second version of this Pictish pattern derived from the key patterns on ancient standing stones in Scotland. It was the second session for this, tuning up all the lines and darkening the black. It is a maze, built of interlocking shapes, and quite a challenge to design and install. Meant to confuse enemies in battle!
