FULL VIEW PLEASE!
It's a must!

Model: Me.
Design: Me.
Tattoo Artist: Tracey @ Wonderland.
Photo: Me.
Post. Pros: Me.
Done/Taken: Dec. 14th 2012.

A portrait of my mother, tattooed on my right shoulder.
The photo used was her High School graduation photo.
The tattoo in total took about 3 and a half hours.

I have had this design drawn up of my mother
since 2009 and I have finally gotten it done!! :D

It turned out better then I pictured it in my head.
Me and Tracey work really great together and so
my tattoos look amazing because of it :nod: :happybounce:

I will be posting another photo that my artist took in the shop
of me with the finished tattoo with my mother standing next to it.


I really hope you all dig this!!

Wow this is absolutely beautiful. I love the design around her, the dotted line how it turns into a ribbon along with it making an M and saying mother. I can tell she means a lot to you, not only from the tattoo but from your pose in the photo, the heart that went into this shows and I find that really amazing. :heart:

:aww: Thank you so, so very much, Bruce!!! :D
I designed the design that goes around her portrait.
She sews, and has sewn for my whole life, and she got
me into sewing. So that is why I designed it as so.
The dotted line is thread sewn in and out of my skin,
while the purple thread sticks out as it would. Purple
is her favorite color. Yes, that she does :nod: And so
I wanted to carry a piece of her with my forever :heart: :thanks:

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. I love how everything you get has a meaning to it and finding that is always a wonderful journey.

Yes, every single piece has meaning.
So many people today get tattooed just
because they want to be tattooed, but
most of the time there is no meaning to
what they are getting inked into their
skin, what they will carry forever
means absolutely nothing to them.

Yes like how these girls get the same tattoos stars/butterflies/flowers because it looks pretty yet has no meaning.

have a lot more meaning to me this way.

I don't think I knew this before and love that even more. More should really learn from you. I've wanted to get a few but my tough decision is where to get them.

Yup. The key is picking the place on your
body that fits the idea/design the best.
The area that can showcase it to the fullest.
