Description It takes a fire to see the angels.
Done for my client whose father (a firefighter) got caught in a fire and burned 90% of his body. He survived and said during recovery he saw an angel. Pretty tough guy if you ask me. Very excited to do a piece full of so much inspiration!

Bloody hell that's fantastic. LOVE the wings and the pose. I also really like how the fire and the angel's hair are blown back. Really just a great piece overall.

Not only are you an exceptional tattooist, but you know the possessive singular use of the word, who...
I think I'm falling in love.

I can only say what I always say.
Excellent.

I simply love the wings and how the colors through the whole piece compliments each other.

I hope you don't mind my curiosity: but when you blend the colors, do you tend to gradually add the new ink color to the shader (as in not having the water clean the old color away completely), rather than clean it completely and then add the new color?
