I just realized I never posted this photo of Jeremy's arm - it's a New Orleans themed Noah's Ark tattoo! The ark is made from an upside down umbrella, with the dove holding the olive branch as the handle. A shotgun house (typical New Orleans style home) is the center structure of the ark, and in the background is the flooded city. You can kind of see a hint of the city in the last rotation, but there's a little more there that isn't shown. Also, Noah is the name of his newborn son.
This was a ton of fun to draw and execute. Jeremy came to me with just the idea of the Noah's ark, and then gave me a bunch of freedom with the design and all the elements. People often ask me if I have a favorite tattoo that I've done. I really don't have one favorite, but many of the pieces I am most proud of are the ones where I'm given a basic idea or theme and a ton of freedom to design and develop concepts. So this 'NOLAs Ark' tattoo definitely fits in that category.
