Phoenix "New Start"
- Details
Travis and his lovely fiance Alexandra (Alex) have been driving up from Albany to work with me on his back cover up tattoo for awhile now. Neither one of them had had any ink before coming in to see me, so they had quite a few questions, but once they committed, they were all in. For somebody to choose a full back piece as their first tattoo experience is pretty bad ass and represents a great deal of trust in me, which I really appreciate.
He says, "I wanted a tattoo to help bring focus away from some scars on my back. I thought about it for years and decided I wanted a phoenix to represent a new start.
"Once I was sure I knew what I wanted, I sought out someone who had experience with tattoos and scarring; that's how I ended up at Floating Lotus! This was my first tattoo and a full back piece, but Victoria made the process manageable and I couldn't be happier with the results!"

D'Leene is the second woman who works in healthcare and whose name starts with a "D" that came in to see me in the same month about a tattoo project. She had an old tattoo on her lower back, plus some scars on her side that she was interested in camouflaging with a tattoo.
I recently met two wonderful women who are medical practitioners, whose names start with a "D". As far as I know, they are not acquainted with each other but their projects are remarkably similar. They both have lower back tattoos they were looking to cover up. They both chose lotuses as the main imagery. And they both let me have creative control, which always makes for fantastic tattoos, especially cover ups.
