Put a Branch on It
- Details
Last year, Alisha came in to see me about covering up an old tattoo that she had on her right foot. The details are a little fuzzy now, but we settled on an evergreen branch with a pine cone, for the imagery. I did the drawings but life interfered, as it sometimes does, and she was not able to come in to have the work done until several months had gone by; then she contacted me earlier this year to say she was ready to complete the project. Luckily I keep all of my drawings, and I was delighted to hear from her. I think the final piece turned out very well and I'm happy that she is pleased with the outcome.

When he contacted me for a cover up tattoo project, Tommy had a lovely idea for what imagery to use; he had an old ring tattoo and some scars on his left forearm, and he thought we could use a tree growing up his hand, turning into a forest/wood, complete with a deer in the background.
Erin had some vericose veins on the inside of her lower left leg that she was interested in seeing if I could cover up with a tattoo. I have covered vericose veins before, and it's usually very easy-- the easiest type of cover up I perform, actually. When she came in to see me, she had a rather interesting concept idea--- one I hadn't seen much of before.
