Elbow Armor tattoo

This client started out more ambitious, wanting the full-arm body armor look, but got a job working as a chef at a place that doesn't want visible tattoos. So we carefully placed this custom Celtic knot work wide band as low as he can go when he rolls up his chef's coat sleeves. It is my commitment to NOT install tattoos that can be considered "job stoppers" or socially negative, so talking about visibility and counseling people about the impact is always a consideration for me. The younger a person is the more I feel it is my moral imperative to give the perspective that they do not want to limit themselves later in life with a tattoo choice made in youth.
