Grandma's Bird Painting Tattoo

View Large Image
05.21.13

 

This client loved and admired her grandmother.  She used her to guide her daily ambitions, because her grandmother encouraged her to be herself above all else.  As we worked, she shared stories: her grandmother was one of the rare white women in the Amazon River basin, and grew up in the jungle among aborigine people that were known as cannibals.

Her grandmother was also an artist her entire life. During the crest of her career, she created gorgeous multidimensional paintings, but my client wanted a replication of one done in her late eighties.  Her decision was charming and beautiful, and I love the piece she chose.  Her grandmother's age at the time she painted it had reduced her hand but not her vision.

The challenge was patterning this piece and then replicating the nuances of the paint with my eye, centimeter by centimeter.  Another challenge was to convince a sweet young girl from Indiana that great tattoos couldn't happen in five minutes.  They rarely happen within sixty minutes or even a single session. 

A tremendous scholar, this client now has her PhD.  She loves the learning process and took the new tattoo education in stride.  She also never missed an opportunity to pick on my weak left brain.  She even gifted me a tool to grow that logical side of the brain.  I love this gal, I love her tattoo, and I love watching her blossom.  This piece is one of the favorites in my portfolio.  I wish I could do more like them.

"Just got done watching the Jeff Gogue hand webinar. Best $150 I've spent in a while! Every single one that I've signed up for has been superb and really makes a difference for those of us living overseas who don't have access to conventions/seminars period. So this is definitely the next best thing and I'm thankful for having access to them."

"I absolutely love the website that TattooNOW has done for me! With being a new shop owner and having a lot on my plate designing a webpage was one of the last things on my mind. TattooNOW was able to totally help me in designing my page and I receive compliments from my clients from it all the time! My shop is in a little remote town and over 50% of my clientele comes from this website! People come from all over the country to my little town in Missouri. It's amazing the power of the Internet these days. I don't know what I would've done without this website!!”

"I have been happily associated with TattooNow.com for many many years now and finally gave up control over myself built web site and had these experienced tattoo related web builders put together a kick ass new site. I am linked in with many of the popular networking sites like Instagram, Facebook and Twitter and even have several language translation options available for foreign countries. They make it easy to update the images and info yourself any time you feel the need and I could not be happier. I am already getting much more traffic to the site and I'm picking up more clients as well.  I would highly recommend them for anyone especially those in the Tattoo Industry. I will also be having them build a new site for my entire shop soon. Thank you so much TattooNow.com"
