Wedding Anniversary Claddagh Tattoos
Call me a romantic, but when a couple is celebrating their 16th wedding anniversary getting dedication tattoos together, I think it is really special. They knew they wanted to share the claddagh, and rather than full names we suggested he put a monogram, with their shared last name and her initial above, his below, inside the flames of passion! And he'd seen some black graphic dragons I had done, so requested the claddagh ring be broken and topped by two dragon heads.............. altogether a nice custom piece, taking traditional elements and melding them all together. Herself's tattoo is ivy vines around a claddagh, in a more discrete place. A lovely pair, and permanent testimony to the longevity of their love.
Shamrock Sleeve
A full pattern that starts at the top of the arm capping the shoulder, fills the side of the upper arm with an arc encompassing a knot work shamrock pattern, and then links seamlessly into a band that connects around to the back of the arm. A complex and mesmerizing half sleeve that makes an impressive statement.
