The Definition of "Semper Fi"

Percy Waters' flash recreated in 2004

A young Marine stopped in today to tell me the sad news of another customer who has "passed away" as he put it. John came in for a few tattoos over the last couple of years; a realistic, color Statue of Liberty was the last tattoo I did on him and I didn't take a photo since the green looked discolored by the red, irritated skin. I always think I'll get a picture next time they come in. John was very patriotic and it showed in all of the tattoos he had done at the shop. We will all miss seeing him again.

Iggy on the ribs. I outlined this one back around 2004 and finally shaded it last night.
Thanks, Sarah

More tattoos on Marines, past and present...

The start of a leg sleeve started with artwork my client, Brian brought in. I've been tattooing Brian for about 12 years now and this leg will eventually be filled up with his memories of Iraq.

Barn owl is complete, background next.
