cubic zirconia with antlers tattoo - Brad

Awesome! This is Brad, with a tattoo of my cubic zirconia with antlers drawing. I asked him why he had it tattooed, and here's what he said:

Two of my favorite things you draw are cubic zirconias and antlers. So this image made perfect sense to get inked. I just couldn't live another day without your art on me. I wish there was a deeper reason as to why I got it, but it's pretty much just the fact that it's the coolest thing ever. Everyone I've shown it to loves it!

An honest man. I'm truly honoured, sir. And I sure do love drawing antlers and cubic zirconias (but not diamonds). Thanks so much for sharing this, Brad!

Here's the original drawing, which was part of a whole things with antlers series:

two-headed man with antlers tattoo - Elizabeth from Russia

Wow. This is Elizabeth from Russia, with a tattoo on her back based one of my drawings called compromise. The additional text on her tattoo changes the original meaning somewhat. But as far as I'm concerned, if you get one of my drawings tattooed, it's not really about me or my ideas anymore anyway. It (literally) becomes a part of you. Thanks for sharing this, Elizabeth!

excited cubic zirconia tattoo - Emilie from Los Angeles

Wonderful! This is Emilie, with a tattoo based on my drawing of an excited cubic zirconia. Her kids are obsessed with fake tattoos, so she had the tattoo artist use the stencil to make some temporary ones. Here they are, comparing their ink to mom's:

Thanks for sharing your story and pictures, Emilie! The tattoo looks great.

what to focus on tattoo - Jade from London

Awesome! This is Jade from London, UK, with a tattoo of my drawing What to focus on. It's her first tattoo, and she was inspired to get it after her family has been going through some rough times. In her words:

"It’s kind of a reminder to keep ploughing along when life throws challenges at us such as this."

See her blog post. Thanks so much for sharing this, Jade, and I wish you and your family well.

See the original drawing.
