Finished! Nik sat for 8 hours total (in 2 sittings), what a champ! Done at SuperGenius Tattoo in Seattle, WA.

I submitted the outline of my tattoo a while back so I though I’d share the finished result.

my incredible arm piece by bert thomas of skyn yard, southend-on-sea

this is my most meaningful tattoo. my grandma passed away in 2011, and this is all for her. she loved elephants and roses. my grandma died of cancer. it started in her lungs and spread to her brain. we found out in november and she died in december. i think of her every day, and the way i chose to always remember her was to get a tattoo about her. cancer sucks, but everything happens for a reason.

the elephant represents her, happiness, strength, and luck. the red rose represents love, courage, and respect. lavender is the general cancer awareness color. also, when an elephant holds its trunk down, it’s a sign of protection.

This is a tattoo on my left ribcage, and oh boy it was quite painful! All together it took about three hours. The snake represents my brother who was born in the year of the snake. Each of the roses represent an important person in my life, and the anchor all in all stands for family… they keep be grounded and well, anchored. I’m in absolute love with this piece, and I’m planning on adding color to the roses but for now, I’m keeping it simple! My tattoo artist is definitely one talented dude.
