Killamery Cross Celtic Tattoo Design

The East face of the Killamery cross in County Kilkenny, Ireland. The unique integration of serpents and spirals in the center represents the joining of the Pagan forces of the Earth with the new Christian religion. The floral patterns in the base are a celebration of the vegetative powers in union with the spiritual.

Three Loves Celtic Tattoo Design

A sentimental creation, this tattoo ranks as the saddest one in my career, but also as a heartfelt lesson about how important my work can be. The pink cat represents the family's little daughter, the blue dog their son, and the grey angel dog with a wing is the baby son who died very young. All the children represented together, the living and the one in heaven; in the hearts and on the arms of the loving parents.

Passiflora - Passion Flower Tattoo Design

My personal favorite flower, this is the ultimate spaceship of the floral kingdom. Improbable and beyond surreal, this variety is called alata-caerula and covers my home's front door. Metaphoric for human romantic passion, the fact that the incredible flowers only last one day makes them all the more precious.

Lord of the Rings Medly Tattoo Design

This client asked for Lord of the Rings imagery united in one tattoo: the white tree of Gondor coming out of the hilt of Narsil with the Elvish ring script around it. Her wish was my command.
