Rose lace

Finally I have finished that piece of 2 sittings! I loved

working with this palette of colours. 

My client was a brilliant - never complained about the pain, even though she had

to take over 5 hours of pain at a time.

Few pieces I would like to share with you today :)

Gorila and a wave was done for a surfer guy. He wanted a monkey tattoo, but I could do it that simple, so came up with idea to combine his pation with an ape that in a way shows his strong character :)

Cherry blossoms was a tricky one, because it is a cover up. But I'm happy with a result.

Rose was girl's first tattoo ever. I absolutely enjoyed tattooing it and ghot carried away.. so it was almost 6 hours overall time! She coped perfect with pain and it suited her just perfect! I called her Esmiralda hehe
