Finished first tattoo for Dylan

Recently I had the pleasure of welcoming Dylan at the studio, who travelled all the way from North Carolina, to come get his first tattoo ever!

I just loved creating this design, that as you might guess, has some very important and personal meanings for Dylan and his family, and the inspiration was a mix between viking styles and Norwegian folk tales

Thank you so much Dylan for trusting me with this project, looking forward to next time!
