April Tattoo Special!!!!!

Written by melissa on April 2, 2012 · Leave a Comment

I’ve decided for this month’s tattoo special, I’m going to continue on the road of flowers.

If you know me at all, you know I love creating art that revolves around flowers. This March I will be focusing on the lily flower.

Much to my surprise, the image of the lily has been used for quite some time. Depictions of lilies, which date as far back as 1580 B.C., have been discovered in a villa in Crete. The lily flower has long played a role in ancient mythology. The word lily is derived from the Greek word “leiron”. The Greeks believed it sprouted from the milk of Hera, the queen of the gods.

The lily flower, in it’s many forms, has been given quite a few meanings including: the Virgin Mary’s purity (white Madonna Lily), friendship, devotion, sympathy, wealth, prosperity, and humility.

If you are interested in taking me up on this offer, you can submit a picture of a lily that you would like to have me tattoo on you. Alternatively, you can just ask me to draw a lily for you. Also, keep your eyes open. I will be posting custom lily drawings that I want to tattoo this month!

As always, if you are interested, you can contact me here.

Painterly Flower Tattoos

There are so many ways a tattoo can be done. Your mind and creativity are the limit… or not! The only thing holding most artists back is habit, I believe. An artist gets in the habit of always using black lines, or always tattooing a certain style, or what-have-you. Over the past year I have [...]

I love designing custom tattoos for my clients. I do, however, really enjoy working with a client’s own design. It’s my job to reach into your noggin and pull out your tattoo dream. When I’m brought a drawing to work with, I usually have my work cut out for me. No matter how perfect the [...]

Magenta Orchid Tattoo

There are many things I enjoy tattooing but, I have to say, flowers are by far my favorite. I think flowers have always been a popular thing for people to get tattooed.

Something Fishy is Being Tattooed

Written by melissa on January 19, 2012 · 2 Comments

I’m asked to tattoo all sorts of things everyday. I have to say though, my favorite things to tattoo come from the natural world. Things like: plants, skulls, and animals are among the many things I love tattooing from the natural world. It’s always fun to tattoo these things realistically, but I also love using [...]

For the most part, I get to tattoo some really great tattoos that make me and my clients happy. Unfortunately that is not always the case. One of the saddest tattoos I can be asked to do, is a memorial for a dead child. One cold fall day last year, that is exactly what this [...]
