Evening's long shadows became the night, in the small Irish graveyard where I made the grave rubbing that became this tattoo pattern. Memorial to a soldier who had fought and died in a foreign land. Not forgotten.
WAC Pallas Athena Tattoo Design
The badge of honor of the WACs, the Womens Army Corps. Their service to their country earned them the right to wear the bust of Pallas Athena, the goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, mathematics, strength, war strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill. She is placed here within a Greek key pattern to make the tattoo a shield of victory.
Deer Dream Backpiece Tattoo Design
A Pagan enchantment, channeling the forest God Cernunnos, celebrated in the ancient Celtic and Gallo-Roman religions. Antlers spanning the shoulders, a DNA-esque growing spiral of a vegetative form, and the base a crescent of Pictish knotwork from ancient Scotland.
Queen Celtic Pictish Spiral Tattoo Design
Single, double, and triple spirals in a profusion of Pictish and Celtic swirls. Making a tapestry of living motion.
