Did these free hand flowers yesterday on a long time client. Laurie and Jimmy always travel to come get tattooed by me. I really appreciate them and anyone else who makes the trip every time; it means a lot and is extremely flattering. Thanks for looking everyone. #buffalove #buffalony #716 #buffalo #buffalotattooartist @sostattoos #dogtattoo #pawprint #pawprinttattoo
