The Tattooed Wedding Gift


A very happy newly wed couple came into the shop for a tattoo. The young woman requested a fully opened carnation to represent her grandmother with a tiny lady bug to symbolize her daughter. The challenge was she wanted both the carnation and lady bug to be red. We decided on a unique white carnation with red tips. Problem solved... the lady bug would sit on the white part of the petal.

In the midst of the tattoo and getting to know the couple, I found out how newly wed they were! They had just gotten married the day before and were on their honeymoon in NYC. The tattoo was a wedding gift for the new bride from her now husband. I was so happy to be able to give such a romantic tattoo for someone who just had their special day!
