brittany’s finished lady

brittany has been one of my best friends for a while now. we started this tattoo a while ago when she was visiting from salt lake city. she was back in town for our friday the 13th party. we got to finish this pretty lady right before she left. she sat like the badass mom that she is, and i’m real happy with the tattoo. she only gets black and grey tattoos which i love to do and don’t always get the chance, this is one of brittany’s larger tattoos, on her back/ribs area and defiantly a 2 session piece. i always look forward to seeing her, and tattooing her. this was right after so the little bit of redness will go away and some of the grey will settle in a lot more after the next few weeks. black and grey tattoos age real nice when they settle into the skin even after a month of healing they can change their contrast and soften up a lot. love you girl. thanks for always having great ideas. danielle

the threatened swan

this tattoo on morgan is based on the painting by Jan Asselijn, titled The Threatened Swan, from before 1652. i’m really happy with the way it came out. we did the tattoo in 2 sessions and morgan was a champ through the whole thing. i do a variety of styles and i enjoyed having the challenge to recreate this painting that he admired so much. thanks again morgan. danielle

this is the original painting underneath that we based the tattoo off

Peony by Matt Greenhalgh

Here’s a tattoo i did for a client who came up from Macon. I was super excited for the way we laid this tattoo out, super powerful but also graceful. i would love to do more tattoos this way.  flowers make great tattoos, i love doing this kind of work.
