Bumble Bee Sun Flower Gypsy Tattoo

This is a half sleeve tattoo I designed for Bethany Wester. Bethany asked me to design a tattoo from her sholder to elbow of a gypsy woman with a sunflower and at least on bumble bee. She also wanted the words "live, love, laugh" written on a banner flowing around the woman. Copyright www.samphillips.co.nz

Owl Flying Back Tattoo

This is an owl back tattoo I designed for Tracey Hart. Tracey asked for the owl to "Look feminine, but not dainty or cutesy, because it is a bird of prey after-all." The owl symbolises her being strong through a tough time in her life. Copyright www.samphillips.co.nz

Stained Glass Window Back Piece Tattoo

I designed this full back piece tattoo for Valentin Hogea. It relates to a near-death experience he had a couple of years ago, which struck him quite hard. And he really saw life with different eyes. Valentin also wanted me to work in a "modern" Hansel and Gretzel and stained glass window theme into this design. Copyright www.samphillips.co.nz
