Celtic Star of Life Tattoo

February 19, 2014

Last year this ER Nurse from Maine asked me to draw up the EMS Star of Life in Celtic style, and I jumped at the challenge. I have been SAVED by paramedics, I admire and respect them, I was very enthusiastic to create this as a tribute to them in my style. Then the man decided to make the pilgrimage to the Left Coast and get it installed, and today he has this permanent badge of honor for his commitment to his profession.

The symbol of the noble professionals paramedics and emergency medical technicians, reborn with a Celtic knotwork element to be a shield of honor.

Isn't everyone secretly envious of the Irish, with their designation as the Lucky Ones and their splendid symbol of the 4 leaved clover? A fine repeat client came in today and got this original knot work clover design of mine, an ethnic statement of his determination to make his own luck.

Celtic Arm Band Tattoo

February 16, 2014

I'm always pleased to do large scale intricate Celtic knotwork band tattoos, they are such a bold statement. They also require a lot of precision to make them fit the arm, which is not a tube, more like a funnel. This one was a tough one to line up, but there is no beginning and no end, and that's what I always strive for, a perfect custom fit.

Icelandic Sheepdog Tattoo

A tattoo portrait of the highly awarded Icelandic Sheepdog Eyjahunda Thorarinn, the only one of his breed to ever take an AKC “Best in Show.”
His owner commissioned this portrait from me months ago, sending multiple photographs for me to work from, and then decided to make the trek to have me also install it. I am very happy to see him come to life in skin.
