In the mean time, David designed quite a few new tattoos. They are mostly swirly organic and flowery, except upon request. Some drawings are made out of passion only, which means they are available.
While drawing in the flow, he also designed a few new ones for himself. This one consists out of two birds who represent our children. One bird has a missing feather. It is our son. Finally, the drawing was put into the shape of a tear.
In the mean time the European dragon also has been finished and it looks really beautiful. All the shading that had to be done on the scales was a very good practice indeed. And it was nicely done, if I may say so myself.
For me he designed an owl sitting on a branch (kind of Tim Burton style). On this branch grow two flowers. One straight and perky, one a little lopsided. These flowers represent our two children. One of them has Celebral Palsy, so that's why the flower grows to one side.
This tattoo still has to be colored, but it's already everything I want and more.
The latest design is a tattoo of an Angel, sitting in clouds. This tattoo is meant for someone's arm.
I used to think tattoos did not have to have a deeper meaning. A tattoo simply had to be beautiful.
Nowadays I see tattoos in a whole new dimension. They can be meaningful and very deep.
Another example is the request of a man in his sixties who recently lost his loving wife. He wanted a design of a red rose with the name of his wife in it. It had to be a real old school tattoo. So David designed this one:
Tattoos can be bold, rough and daring, beautiful graceful and stylish or incredibly deep, loving or sad. But in
all cases, they tell you a story about their owner. Isn't that a kind of magic?
