Here She Is

I've been thinking on this tattoo for about 4 years now and it was worth the wait.  It started as the back of an old boat with the names "Elizabeth Marie" across the back.  Turned into and anchor with the same names underneath.  And finally arrived at the final design with Elizabeth curving across the top, Lee inside the cross bar of the anchor, and Marie straight across underneath.  On Wednesday morning I was sitting in my tower and took about two hours of my day to draw up exactly what I wanted on the back of a rescue card.  It was to scale and everything.  After work, I called up my dude, who I got in touch with through my the famous Joey Reyes, and asked if he was free.  I walked in and handed him my drawing, he tweaked the anchor a little bit for the better and so he could fit Lee in there too.  Forty-five minutes and 80 bucks later I walked out with exactly what I wanted.  I wanted the anchor and the text to be simple straight lines, I was going for the "Just got back from Nam.." look.  The text is exactly how I drew it, the anchor just has slightly bigger triangle tips and the addition of Lee in it.  It's imperfection gives it the uniqueness I was looking for. But now I have my whole family's middle names on me, Cheyenne Elizabeth, Lanny Lee, Lynn Marie, Chantelle Marie.  Kerry likes it.  I'll show you in person when I see ya.  Cheers!
