Cardinal for Heather

Did this cardinal tattoo on Heather today.  I was more than happy to help her out with some imagery that I love to tattoo; flowers and birds.  She had a less than pleasant tattoo experience with a local tattoo artist and shop that will remain nameless.  Heather wanted a small cardinal and tiger lily tattoo on her chest.  I was happy to oblige and we compromised on a little bit larger than planned on tattoo with some minor adjustments to her idea.  The symbolism of the specific bird and flower, as well as colors were very important to her, so we left those details unchanged.  I think our efforts turned out a pretty swell tattoo.  I took two pictures, one that illustrates the colors of the tattoo as they appear true-to-life, and a more artistic photo that I took with the Hipstamatic.
