The Temple Tatto Inspiration
Aimee drove up on Friday night to get some more work done on her backpiece. It started as a small peacock feather (one of my early tattoo suggestions, executed by Zack at Lovedog Tattoo, I think we were about 18) that was badly faded from years of not using sunblock on it. She still got compliments on it, but wanted to touch it up and add to it. That's where I came in.
Since I've known Aimee for 24 years I have a really good idea of her personal style and asthetic (it's very close to mine, since we developed our taste together) and so I designed something for her completely from scratch. I also made the feather bigger and redid the eye. You can see the changes, though the "before" picture is pretty dark.
I am going to fill in the Indonesian temple/henna/lace design all in dark burgundy red so it will contrast with the green in the feather fronds. I love having the freedom to design this kind of work- for women especially. I think there are so many options for flattering and meaningful tattoos that really accentuate and celebrate the shape of the body.
