Today a woman who lost her Great Dane recently after many years of loyal love came in to get this memorial tattoo. Now her dear pet will always be with her. In memory, in skin.

While this design is a custom portrait of the client's dog, I do have several other Great Dane designs for sale:
Today a woman with a bear paw cover-up and some nice feathers came in yearning for more. Her spirit animal the owl was a lovely choice, so we made a great horned owl head below the pre-existing and then added a Celtic knot crescent moon. Now her arm is like a totem pole, and her tattoo collection is greatly expanded with this half-sleeve.

"The great horned owl (Bubo virginianus), also known as the tiger owl (originally derived from early naturalists' description as the "winged tiger" or "tiger of the air") or the hoot owl, is a large owl native to the Americas. It is an extremely adaptable bird with a vast range and is the most widely distributed true owl in the Americas." -wikipedia
Today a Texan firefighter in the area to combat the numerous wild fires currently burning was able to carve out time in his schedule to acquire this new skin art. He had a previous tattoo of the Maltese cross, so I drew up a dragon that filled the upper arm and finishes with a tail that swoops to the inside. Bespoke coverage that brings his tattoo up to a half sleeve.

"Crosses of this design have been used since around the First Crusade in 1096. The design is said to symbolize the eight points of courage: loyalty, piety, bravery, frankness, glory and honor, no fear of death, compassion toward the sick and poor, and respect for the church." -st-florian-medal.com
Recently a woman making an epic journey far from home got this lovely permanent souvenir, a traveling turtle. We matched her teal toenail polish perfectly, her favorite color, and now she will always be putting her best foot forward.
