June - Musician - Nathan Pye
Here's my entry for this month.
I really struggled with this topic. I had a bunch of photo's of my musical friends, but I didn't really want to use them. So I started thinking about which musicians have influenced me, which led me to my amazing friend Lee Ronald.
Lee was an incredible guitarist, but sadly passed away last year after a long battle with cancer. My design is for a tattoo memorialising him I plan on getting.
The skull references the Day of the Dead, a Mexican holiday in which those who have died are celebrated rather than mourned. The sevens significance are the date and time when Lee passed: 7:07 - 7/7/07.
The turquoise used in the swirls refer to Lee's favourite hockey jersey.
The design is still in draft form...I'm sure the tattooist will have a bit to say about it. This final will include a banner at the bottom that reads "For those lost".
