I've known Valerie since she was 12 years old, and on her 18th birthday she asked me to help her with a tattoo. I couldn't have been more honored. It was to be a tribute to her mother: Gerbera Daisies, with petals blowing away and turning into birds. She drove down from Chicago, sat for a solid 2.5 hours, and voila! Lovely black and grey with some white highlights.
