Today a returning client added more and defined an end to his sleeve by putting a claddagh bracelet at the bottom. He is now forever a bachelor, eternally offering his heart to the ladies, while teasing them with his romantic nature expressed in the rose. On the flip side is a tree of life growing from the band, expressing his connection to his Celtic heritage.

Today a man whose $35 at 16 years old bought him a dancing beer can tattoo finally outgrew the symbol of his miscreant youth. Almost 50 years later, and Mr Beer Can is gone, and in its place a warrior shield representing the success he has made of his life in the years since. This was one day's work, and so the colors are not as vibrant as they will be after a second pass, but the effectiveness of the cover-up cannot be questioned....... where WAS that can?

Today a man whose youthful enthusiasm for the Roadrunner cartoon had long since faded like the tattoo came in to cover it up. We used a triangular Celtic knot to represent the prism on the iconic 1973 Pink Floyd album cover for "Dark Side of the Moon."

Today a man with nostalgia for the oak tree in his mother's yard came in for a permanent representation of it, drawn from actual photos. The tree might be cut down, limbs may fall, but now it lives forever in his skin. In a unique expression of heritage, he asked that the roots rise from the Newgrange kerbstone, the stone at the entrance to the most celebrated neolithic tomb in Ireland.
