This is the silhouette of a cedar tree I did on a client, which is by far one of my favorite pieces. He came in with no payment except an amazing long bow he had hand carved himself, as well as a flint-knapped arrowhead. Of course I’d do the tattoo! I think this tattoo symbolizes what our culture is getting back to, the trading of art and relationships, exactly what our world needs. Done by Emily Kaul at Forbidden Tattoo, in Portland Oregon
