Trees and Branches...

 In the past few years we have gotten a lot of requests for tree/branch related designs.

Although making a Tattoo look this way adds some deliberation to the process, the end result is, in my humble opinion, the best look for a tree or branch related design. Seen here is a branch with blossoms Tattooed as described:
