Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding… healed and settled Medusa backpiece for Dave! This project is a manifestation of passing through grief and suffering to honor those who inspired this art. It is inspiring to witness this process from my place as the artist and tattooer - holding space while the real work is done with the courage and perseverance of the one being tattooed! Thanks you for allowing me to be a part of this process.
