A few Months ago I got an E-mail from Sarah Bussey asking me for a special request. She wanted me to design a tattoo for her to go on her wrist. I have designed tattoos before for friends and even my wife, but I had never been asked by a client. I loved that I got a chance to and it's always fun working on different kinds of projects.
When I found out what it was for I was honored that she would ask me. 6 months ago Sarah lost her baby and had to have a still birth. They blogged the entire process of the pregnancy from the very beginning. I went back and started reading a few of the blog entries to get some inspiration for the design. Sarah told me, "...we called her Poppy Seed before we found out at 15 weeks that she was a girl and then we named her Mamie."
She knew that she wanted to have Mamie's name in the design along with a reference to poppy seeds She also wanted it to be very feminine. I designed it so that at the bottom of the tattoo was a little poppy seed and it swirled into the name.
you can read more about it on Sarah Bussey's blog along with a few more pictures.
