Today a father whose dedication to his autistic son has been a major focus for many years got this custom design to express that connection. Early intervention and family involvement with professional guidance have led to his son overcoming many challenges, and now his son is succeeding in high school. And his father will wear this symbol of love forever.

Today I did an unusual special request, a Celtic cross surrounded by cherry blossoms. Uniting European and Asian symbolism for a unique tattoo that is both intricate and delicate.

Today I finished a second session on this lower leg wrap of Celtic knotwork. The pattern started with a knot found in a band in the 9th century Book of Kells. That was expanded out to a grid, with three of the knots running vertical and two around the ankle running horizontal. I think the artistic monks would have been happy to see their careful geometry adapted and reused in this new form.

Today a woman came in for a cuff around a pre-existing thistle. She'd gone all the way to Scotland and got a symbolic Scots thistle but it was a bit wonky, so I redrew it and then placed a band of Celtic knotwork around it and a pre-existing word, tying them all together.
