This piece has won 9 awards and has been in magazines been up on our website. It was designed by my husband and tattooed by him, Jim Januzik, A.D.I. Tattoo, Southern Pines; NC. The awards it won are listed on our website
Celtic Tattoo - Link for aditat2.com under tattoos, then awards. As to the meaning... it's a memorial piece to my father and to his side of the family still living in Wales, where they've been forever. I did not want the typical
Celtic Tattoo of a Welsh flag dragon, so the dragon heads were devised by my husband & hence the red in them. The whole
Celtic Tattoo covers up a butterfly that was 25 years old (I was a head of my times then). The whole back piece is still just as bright today as it was 5-6 years ago. We have added shoulder caps since then as well. We will be adding some more below the shoulder caps. The back piece took 30 hours to do.
My father never did become an American citizen. The land that my family has farmed for centuries is unbelievable and somewhat difficult to describe. There is a Welsh word that roughly translates out to "the longing" I don't even remember what it is, but it's even deeper than that & more intense. It's for real!
