I needed an update to my basic Celtic cross that I got 18 years ago. After looking at posted reviews online and seeing nice work on flowers and trees
I went into the shop and met with Kyle. He was very polite and attentive listening to my touch up idea. He did a rough sketch and we scheduled an appointment. He asked me to send him some more images for clarity of concepts about what I wanted. We emailed back and forth. He was always polite and asked questions to understand what I was envisioning:
covering my existing Celtic cross with bark-like lines;
adding roots to the base of the cross;
adding clovers and thistles to the arms of the cross to make it a Scotch-Irish cross;
making the circle on the cross into a tribal sun; &
crowning it with a cockatrice (family crest).
Day of the appointment I had an idea to color the cockatrice like my family crest (azure and gold) rather that the more traditional colors (green, yellow and red) we had emailed about. When I talked to Kyle about it, he really jumped on board and ran with it.
Super pleased with the work he did on me. I feel really good having this piece of body art!
I am now just trying to figure out how to update my other tattoos and what new ones to add.
Thanks Kyle! read more
