**PUSHING BOUNDARIES WITH THIS NEW DESIGN DROP FROM GARY!**
Tattoo artists often tattoo butterflies as a symbol marking transition in someone’s life. Gary wanted to do something different and unique to him.
Introducing the Shadow Series. Here are the first 5. The words are interchangeable but the figure and shadow will be one time use only. Gary has already produced a few more but wanted to test the water before I go further.
These tattoos mean to you whatever you want and show that many of us have lived with and / or overcome the unseen demons and shadows in our life.
Gary has battled with mental illness for years as, unfortunately many people have and do. Fear is one of his shadows, the fear of failure, the fear of letting down the people he cares about. He know’s this and tries to fight it every day.
For him, facing his shadows head on feels the best way to deal with it. To quote someone else who deals with mental wellness head on through art ……
`Cause fear in itself
Will reel you in and spit you out
Over and over again
Believe in yourself
And you will walk
Now, fear in itself
Will use you up and break you down
Like you were never enough
Yeah, I used to fall, now I get back up
So, if you would like one of these to mark your journey, transition or to bring your shadow out in to the light then drop Gary a message.
Give us your feedback anyway and let Gary know if he should continue the series.
