Today a military man came in for the second session on this extensive Celtic body armor knotwork tattoo. One continuous weave, fully integrated together into one pattern, flowing from the neckline down to the middle of the upper arm where it forms a complete band. In a third and final session we will complete shading and he will have a warrior's tattoo to carry with him into battle wherever his fortunes may lead him.

Today a man gave me an interesting assignment. He wanted a Viking Vegvisir, in a cuff on his forearm, extending from the elbow toward the wrist. He had gotten his first tattoo in a discrete location, and he was ready for one he could show off! So I opened up a traditional block of Celtic knot work, bent the weave to leave an open space, and inserted the runic compass. Now he has body armor to carry him forward to new adventures, and a compass to make sure he can always find his way home.

Recently a local academic returned for his second eccentric materials science tattoo. This one features a schematic of a 3-point Bend Test, mirrored for symmetry, and incorporating significant initials representing his family.

Today an adventurous world-traveling academic came in for her second tattoo, nostalgic for her Russian homeland. The swallow has long been a tattoo popular with sailors, who saw it as a talisman for returning home safely. In Russia they are a common and favored species, and everywhere they travel they bring a smile to those who observe their agile aerial antics.
