Temple Adorned

this lovely client flew in from out of state and wanted to get a birthflower forearm wrap, incorporating elements from her wedding dress.

i thought this was such a lovely way to hold something so precious near, that is subtle and not quite so obvious.

we combined freehanding the overall flow, and stenciling the other elements to create this beautiful forearm wrap that moved with her body, creating specific focal points, and a design that was overall cohesive.

this was so much fun, and i was honored to get to work together on this! thank you for your trust, and patience with me (even though a funny day in which i misplaced my keys, hehe.)

in the end it all worked out, and i love the end result. i've seen some photos of it a few days later, and it settling in perfectly.

if you want flowers to represent the people special to you in life, i would love to bring your vision to reality.

traditionally, this work has been painted on silk, or rice paper. skin, it turns out, is also a suitable canvas for another type of ink.

i loved combining an art form i deeply admire into a tattoo, and carrying the intention through. browse the collection via the link in my bio, or, if you have something in mind aligned with this style, i would love to consider it.
