Throwback to @trueblue_tattooconvention ,
one of the best conventions of the year!
I had the privilege of tattooing this powerful Rock of Ages piece on the incredibly strong Josie who handled the pain like a champion. The tattoo sits on the back of her thigh and brings this timeless design to life.

The Rock of Ages is a classic symbol, originally inspired by 18th-century hymn imagery. Traditionally, it shows a woman clinging to a rock, protected against the crashing waves. A representation of resilience, faith, and finding strength in challenging times. It’s a timeless reminder that resonates with many even today.

Big thanks to my client Josie for her trust and for choosing me to bring this iconic symbol to life. Working with such talented, passionate people at the convention made this experience unforgettable.
