So i go this tattoo when i was 15, of the nautical star and flames. My bud's brother had just gotten done serving and built a gun with a Bic mechanical pencil, rc ac adapter, lighter spring, 11g guitar string and a few other parts. At the time the tattoo was meant to mean i had no one to look up to and the one thing i did, the stars, seemed to be coming down in a firey blaze. Ya, i grew up, my balls dropped, and i realized shit wasnt so bad. Started workin my ass off and livin the way i wanted to. Well long story short, my mother who raised me solo passed away 6 years ago, the portrait/painting is a peice she had hanging over her bed when i was gorwing up. I already have a memorial portrait of her on my back, but i thought this would be a great peice for a wrap/cover up. This is after the first sitting, lookin at about 7 hrs in with a quick pizza break, haha. got at least 3 more sessions left, maybe a 4th for extra black. Stoked on this peice, means a lot to me. More to come soon...
