Lauryn's Embroidery Tattoo

The design comes from an embroidery that my grandma completed in high school.

This photo was taken 24 hours after completion.

Great tattoo! Whoever did it did an awesome job.
And it's really cool in this photo because it was taken when it starts to raise up, so it looks like someone ACTUALLY embroidered your back! Rad!!
