Celtic 'Ceremonial Guard' Tattoo
Today this client with a pre-existing Celtic cross asked for an extension, an epaulette of knot work to extend the tattoo up onto his shoulder, in honor of his fallen brother. The custom design was fitted around the cross to frame and expand it, and serve as a memorial of a brave man lost.
