Tattoo - Mary

Description

This is a tattoo design for my friend.

Now, I typically don't approve of name-tattoos... but this is a memorial to her son. She had undiagnosed adenomyosis (15 years younger than it typically onsets, even) and she went into labor too soon and he didn't survive.

She barely did. She won't ever have children again.

She can't even legally drink yet and she's gone through so much pain it's hard to imagine. Her birthday is this month, and for a present, I drew this for her. She has an appointment to get it done on Saturday. We debated over where it should go: on her belly where she carried him, or her heart where she carries him now.

This is the second similar design I've done for her; the first one she wanted was lower-back but her mom talked her out of it so I made this one that can kind of go anywhere she wants it to. :3

His name is on the banner, and the year she had him is inside the heart between the wings. The Celtic cross is because she's Irish, and the roses are for her love for him.

For the record, I hate roses and doing these was ridiculously hard for me.
