JC Thorns

Simi, CA

This is my ALL TIME Favourite ~ Jesus Christ in an armband of thorns ~ I had
thought about this one for many months & was scared to get the band around the
soft underside of my arm... Anyone who sez tattoo's don't hurt is pulling your leg!
I waited for a friend to come up to Redding to go with me, as he has an armband
& I figured he could give me some emotional support. When the friend never came,
I just worked up the courage & once again went to Jamie. He had already created
the tatt for me on paper so we knew what the design would be; the colours came later.

Speaking of the colours, after the outline, James went around with dark green,
then light green. He once again went around with dark brown. Boy, was that something!
I, for one, was quite finished by then, but he suggested one more colour; a light tan.
I was dying, but told him he was the artist, & so one more time around the arm with
the tan & my personal Jesus Christ tatt was done ~ 5 years later, it still looks fresh ~

Just perfect ~ I love Jesus & all He's done for me... He's still working on me too
~ and I know He loves me, even when I falter. Thank You JESUS CHRIST, my Lord!

This tattoo is truly a work of art and loved your commentary as much as the photo. Kind of late but V. :)
