Dragon Consorts

A memorial tattoo for a beloved wife, representing two people united for decades, since they were a teen romance, on the husband who could not figure out how to live without her. This week he committed suicide to join her. He died of a broken heart. RIP my wonderful client and friend.

The spirit of the woods, a Celtic Green Man with woven knotwork beard and oak leaf hair. Representing the union of the primordial forest with the spirit of humankind.

Mercurial Spirals Tattoo Design

An evocative circle of spirals taken from the 6th century Book of Kells illuminated manuscript. The size of a dime in the original, greatly enlarged here to encompass the hip and onto the butt of a very fit and wiry man. Sculptural art! The central triscle is surrounded by interlocking double spirals and triquetras, a symphony of threes.
