these are a couple of tattoos that david and i did for each other, the top one is on davids leg and is a take on the rememberance tattoos we saw on miami ink. often in battle if someone dies they stab the gun into the ground hang the dog tags on it and the hat and place the boots at the bottom, if only to mark the losses though im sure there is a deeper story behind it. david however being the big softie he is wanted something to remember the innocent people that are lost to wars and violence so this piece was named "toy soldiers".its a kids baseball cap on a toy gun with the dog tag and boots and a handful of toy soldiers on the ground.
it turned out quite well though it really needs a close look to see the detail.
this is the next installment of what could be a huge tattoo, it started with davids first ever tat, the butterflies around the ankle bone which im sure i blogged such a long time ago, it travels round a piece that my daddy did many moons back when i was about 18, thats the little chinese symbol and butterfly. the latest bit is then the flowers and the bumble bee with the music notes. it took a little longer than anticipated but im really pleased with the result, again under close inspection the colours really blend together and hes done a great job of it. it hurt like hell i wont lie and im slowly but surely changing my mind about it going all the way up my leg but hopefully the finished piece will look the way i want it to xxxx
