These are my first “outside the shirt” tattoos, one on each forearm, just below the elbow crease.
Because this Latin is shot with camera-phone quality, I’ll translate for you. On the right, it says “faith and/therefore family” and on the left, it says “family therefore faith”, and those are oak leaves and acorns, for the dendrochronologically challenged.
Divine Machine is on Elmwood, just south of Allen. divinemachinetattoo.com

i love them!
they turned out beautifully! great design, and another success by Derek. make your appointments now folks before he realizes how at once reasonable and superb he is! i’m already planning my birds for my ankles… but in time. glad the referral was a good one.
Thanks, Valerie and Jenn.
Good call on Derek, Jenn. He charged me a ridiculously low fee, so I tipped him close to 30%, and I feel like I should have left more on the table when I went back in to get my bicycle out of the hallway by his room. The poor guy is suffering from a miserable cold, so he was wearing a mask the whole time, so that he wouldn’t spread germs.
Freaking. Awesome. Maybe if tu madre y padre have a funny enough reaction, Evan and I might get the veritas/aequitas tatoos from Boondock Saints and see if my dad has an equally hilarious reaction. Of course, Evan’s only 14…
