I've been wanting some new ink for years now and its only in the last year or so that I finally decided what I wanted. I was looking for a Celtic Tree of Life design that was a little out of the ordinary. For those that dont know the Tree of Life was a symbol used to denote the cycle of life, from birth to death to rebirth. With my wife pregnant and the babies coming soon I finally decided to get it done.
Original artwork that I wanted the tattoo base off of...this is actually a picture of a belt buckle that I found online
Line drawing done by the artist. I had him add knotwork on the sides, connecting the whole thing into a circular pattern.
Completed piece...
The whole thing took about 3 1/2 hours from start to finish.
