Willie Wagtail Tattoos

These Willie Wagtail tattoos were designed for Lauren McLean. Lauren asked me to design her a pair of tattoos like the swallows I designed for Cíntia Carvalho Vieira, but instead of the swallows use Willie Wagtails and the words 'Forever' and 'After'. Copyright www.samphillips.co.nz

Zombie Koi Fish Yin Yang Tattoo

Shandra and her husband wanted to get a tattoo together. They asked me to design two zombie koi in the yin and yang postion, he would get one on his back toward the side and Shandra would to the same on her back. So when they stand together the design will match and be complete. Copyright Sam Phillips www.samphillips.co.nz

Wolf Skin Gypsy Tattoo Print

I’m not a big animal rights activist but I thought this design could represent animal poaching. And how people can over look how cruel it is just to own or use a product. Beauty at the cost of death?
