Holy crap. It looks completely real. I seriously thought it was a real feather, plastered on your back.
Hmm.
It's nice to know that it means something though.
Is it a color tattoo?

by the edges photography (blah blah blah) (35 months ago | reply)
it looks like its breathing.....thats what makes it different then most feather tatts....like somehow it has a life of its own, and knowing the story behind it kind of adds to that feel.
i can only say that its a small sad few of us that know exactly the kind of grief that you suffer when you loose a child.
rosuuuu (35 months ago | reply)
oh no u lost your baby! that's so sad
i just lost my bunny, i didnt even have him a full year, but still, sucks to lose a friend.
also i thought this was an acual feather, so awesome job!
it's a great tattoo and a great photo too
Ruhi~ (35 months ago | reply)
