a good hand


i took my Tattoo Source book with me and while i was doing the dragon on his back jo was looking through at the designs. he found an image of a hand of cards a think its called a royal straight though its been a while since i worked in a casino. the image has a scroll of writing that said born to lose, live to win and jo decided at about 5pm he would really like this one too.
so i set about drawing it up and putting the stencil on.
it was quite a fiddly design with lots of different little pictures in one but it was enjoyable.
it was all my own too i didnt need to try and match it to anything as it was far enough away from the other designs to be its own piece.
i think i did an ok job though i fear he may want a couple of bits redone once it has healed as it was getting late and the false light in the kitchen was casting difficult shadows. but i dont mind. it was great to get stuck in to a real picture for a change.
jo had mentionned there are more designs he would like so i will hopefully see them all again soon. the family were really lovely and i would like to thank jo and elaine and their two beautiful children for their hospitality and patience xx look forward to seeing you all again
