my boss asked me to design a tattoo for him so he could get inked before he heads off on vacation.
his wife (another boss of mine) had inked a beautiful design commemorating her succesfully having cancer removed. and she is so in love with her tattoo that she talked her husband into it.
my boss is a knights templar free mason (i'm sure i got some of that wrong, i know more about the springfield stonecutter's than i do of the masonic societies)
so he asked me to mix in a few elements: the double barred cross, a sword, some icons and the wings.
so i put this together, mashing them all together:
(that bar above the "G" icon appeared during file compression... i was too lazy to get the source file from work to fix it)
i'm pleased with it, the only things i didn't draw by hand were the icons on the crest (as they're too small to worry about the detail in the time crunch i was under) and the wings. the wings are from an existing tattoo design.
he's getting this on his bicep, it should look cool. he just wanted something more than the compas and all seeing eye that alot of other masons get inked in.
it was an interesting diversion for a day where a client called my work "crap".

Dann... if I may... This is a amazing tattoo... It really made me laugh to find it here, I just recently saw your boss's Tatt and would love to consult you for some work in the future to help me with a few ideas I have currently to fit with my ever shrinking tattoo canvas! I grew up next door to John and the kids!
I love the design and i was wondering if you could draw something for me, im close to shiping out for basic training in the airforce, and i was wondering if you could draw and idea i have.
