This custom design was very meaningful to me. You
can see my client’s description and feedback below and the art and completed
tattoo above. I think the tattoo artist did an amazing job with my detailed
work. There were a lot of components in this design and I think the finished
tattoo is a beautiful personal memorial. It was an honor to work on it.
A section of my client’s request
description:
“I would like you to take my idea and add your own. I can't
draw so this is all in my head. Not even sure if it’s gonna work. This tattoo
will be for my upper right arm. I would like a cross with a heart in the middle
I would like Mom and Dad in the heart. Then on the left side my dad’s birth date
which is 10-23-1933 He is still with us but will add that when the time comes.
On the right side my mom’s dates which are 12-26-1937 to 12-21-2012. Under the
heart or in it I would like Married 2-14-1956 with the 2 rings. At the bottom
of the cross I would like a skateboard leaning on the cross with my brother’s
name Jeff and the dates 5-27-1972 to 1-15-1989 I would like all that to look
like it is laying over the footprints in the sand poem, with the last lines.
The times when you have seen only one set of footprints, it was then that I
carried you, showing at the bottom.”
