I went in to get a cover up of a black panther tattoo I got around 30 years ago. Over the years, I had been thinking of getting a cover up done. Finally, I decided that I had this First Nations painting and asked Mike Prior if we could use it.
He was very careful to make sure he got the artwork right, was super careful with the placement and did an exceptional job. I got tons of looks and questions.
What was really cool is I got a chance to meet the artist that did the painting. While Mike was talking about the painting, he was concerned about respecting the artist's work. When I showed the artist my tattoo and some of the changes we had to make to make it work as a coverup of a black tattoo.
The artist was impressed and was complimentary of Mike's interpretation of his work and the additions.
Now I have a unique tattoo that is better than I expected. I love it.
Thanks, Mike. read more
