"Josh" with tree and fishing hook

This is a memorial piece for an important family member of the client. This is his first tattoo. He said that he would never have gotten one that didn't mean something important, and I was happy to be a part of this event for him.

I smile to remember... He and his friend got more and more excited as time went on with the detail I was putting into the bark or the tree. I'm really getting the desire to do more realistic work. Maybe even exclusively, someday.
