Tiger on back

by Will
(Eagle Vale, NSW)

This tiger tattoo was a gift from my wife for my 40th birthday.

The tiger picture was selected for its realism and for its meaning, which represents me.

The names underneath are as though I am watching over my children. The grass reeds were added freehand to give the tattoo more realism and to provide a kind of border also..

The ink was done by Amanda at Picton Tattoo, Picton NSW, Jan 8th 2012. Took about 2.5hrs to this stage, with another 3 to 4 hr sitting for colour to be done Jan 28th. Amanda was chosen for her love of realistic type of tattoos.

I can't wait for the finished product.
