mums the word

so another tattoo for a customers mum, this time it was a little less obscure though! i don't think i've ever posted anything like this on my blog before, for the following reasons:

* i don't do a lot of portraits AT ALL

* i don't have the most fun doing portraits AT ALL



this didn't have a great reference photo, but it was pretty much all her had, so i did it (begrudgingly)

there's some stainage going on around the baby's face coz i started at the bottom, then worked up, then coloured the filligree so there was black being wiped all over, but this pic aint too bad (you should see the other pics!), and i'll get a healed one soon too.
