Equestrian tattoo design

The way a true equestrienne carries herself on a horse has the power to mesmerize audiences. Everyone responds to the beauty and grace that touches a place deep within us.

Elbow Armor tattoo

This client started out more ambitious, wanting the full-arm body armor look, but got a job working as a chef at a place that doesn't want visible tattoos. So we carefully placed this custom Celtic knot work wide band as low as he can go when he rolls up his chef's coat sleeves. It is my commitment to NOT install tattoos that can be considered "job stoppers" or socially negative, so talking about visibility and counseling people about the impact is always a consideration for me. The younger a person is the more I feel it is my moral imperative to give the perspective that they do not want to limit themselves later in life with a tattoo choice made in youth.

Harrington Celtic Knotwork Leg Tattoo

The crest of the Harringtons has the sigil of a square knot, represented in the front and center of this Celtic knot leg wrap tattoo design. The clan motto "Nodo firmo" means "in a firm knot" and in this pattern the weave continues accurately even as it opens up to include the central pattern. I enjoy making unique and custom patterns for my clients that include personal symbolism.
