Couldn't find a Tattoo only thread, but wanted to post some work I had done this weekend in Austin at the Star of Texas Tattoo revival. This is my first tattoo, which is memorial to my son, Cal, who passed 1 year and 2 and 1/2 months ago at 27 days. Really happy with how it came out. Have been wanting to get ink for years and just trying to find the right thing. It's sad that this how it came about but a great way to always keep Cal with me.

    Just one four hour session on Saturday.

    Artist was Tiffer Wright out of Dallas. He was actually 3rd on the most recent inkmaster.

    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant
