Tattoo Covers Cancer Scar

My customer came in with this scar on her back form skin cancer surgery. She wanted to cover it with this mermaid. This is a big job and not something that can be done in one day. This is in progress still...but it has literally changed her life...and this is the rewards I love about the job! Just as a bit of interesting trivia....in case you are wondering....I have been doing tattoos professionally for over 11 years and...nope...I do not have any tattoos myself! Funny huh? I just never had the desire and probably never will. I am just doing my art and trying to make a living. The world of tattooing fell into my lap...I did not seek it out...it found me!

Wow that is really beautiful and whats more beautiful is how it obviously was uplifting for both you and the person that had it done.

Artist Reply: yes..it was great and we are still friends. Sometimes...many times..the tattoo process is so bonding between myself, the artist, and the recipient, that it often ends up in continuing friendships. It's a ggod feeling.
