Took the photo right after I finished getting it done. The elephant represents my mom for her love of the animal. If you were to walk into my home you’d find at least 50 elephant statues and paintings roaming around the house. The year she was born is on the top left hand side of the tattoo.
I did this in two separate sessions; first the outline and then the coloring. This was the first time I’ve ever had shading down from all the tattoos I have and I will say, it’s not the best feeling haha but throughout the time I was getting it done I had my mom there supporting me. She’s my best friend and my mom. She’s the rock that keeps me grounded and to have her there meant the world to me.
I got it done at Tatu’s in Miami, Florida by artist Tatu A.K.A Yurguen Centeno. He’s an AMAZING artist and has been tattooing for over 10 years and also happens to be my brother-in-law c:
