Portrait Of My Nephew Who Passed Away Last Month

My 9 year old nephew passed away unexpectedly a month ago, and his dad, his grandad and myself all said we'd get a portrait tattoo of him. Anyway I had mine done last Wednesday :)

I want a lot doing around him, i'm still undecided but I'm thinking clouds and sunrays similar to the links below. I do want my full sleeve done eventually.

I do like these, with the sun rays and clouds, but still can't decide what to have around him....

Nice work, shame about the circumstances behind the tattoo though.
Where did you get that done?
I really like it.
Trying to find a decent portrait artist is hard in my opinion but you have had a real good job done there.

Thanks mate. I had it done at Vivid Ink in Walsall. They have shops in Birmingham and Sutton too, but only opened the Walsall shop a few months back.

Alexe is a really good artist. Here's my brother in laws portrait of Jamie. Was a little too dark when this picture was taken but it's lightened up nicely now

Sorry to hear that sad news about your nephew mate, but that's a nice tat and a nice tribute.

Only just seen this mate, and again sorry for your loss.

That is a really good tattoo, as has been a said a nice tribute by the three of you.
