Ann's Peacock

In the past have posted photos of this piece as it was in-progress. I finished up Ann's Peacock on Sunday at Hell City in PHX.  We started this in January 2013, we worked on it Saturday and Sunday that month... and again on another weekend in Febuary. SO I have not seen her since then, for our 5th and final session we added some background and more branches with floating petals. Ann is a 61 year old teacher from Long Beach, who has had an intense history of scoliosis and has had numerous surgeries ... some life threating for sure. Ann not only had the most beautiful perfect skin I have ever tattooed, but she is also an inspiration to me. I loved her company, her strength, and her great sense of humor!
