This is the first and most elaborate version of a tattoo design I made for my mother’s 60th birthday, though she ended up going with another more simplified version without the cat portraits and with less black.

It’s a kurbits which is a common motif from the folk art of Dalecarlia where my family is from.

You can buy prints of it here.

I made this koi tattoo back in 2009 but I forgot to post it until now. Prints are available here.
