Last night I went to have a consultation for my first tattoo. I spoke with Mez Love. I had in mind generally what I wanted but still had some questions as to the design. She was wonderful to work with and immediately came up with a great idea. I can't wait to see her finished design!
My inspiration was this little statue of a wolf sheltering a woman. It has always reminded me of my "soul dog," Keota. She was ever watchful over me in the gentlest of ways, like a wise old spirit, as I believe she was and always will be. So I took my photos of her and this little statue. Part of the design is also a white dove that has great spiritual significance to me. This is so exciting an experience for me and I am so happy to have a true artist doing my first tattoo!
I'm planning my first tattoo too
