Jacob's Afternoon at Phoenix Tattoo | Raleigh Lifestyle Photographer

Jacob had been talking about getting a tattoo for years and yesterday he finally got one. He got it done at Phoenix Tattoo in Raleigh. Colby, his tattoo artist, did an awesome job. The tattoo he got is of St. Michael, the patron saint of paratroopers (what Jacob was in the Army). It took three hours, but he loves it and it's meaningful to him, so I guess the pain was worth it : )

















Takin' it like a man!






Below is the final result. The actual tattoo is black and grey, but it looks red because, well, it's traumatized skin. I'll have to post another picture sometime after it's healed.
