The artwork I drew up for my husband's mother's memorial tattoo for her mother. Super excited to see it on skin!

Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Good eye! I appreciate the feedback!
Giving my clients what they want is very important to my work. Grandma was quite the avid crocheter, but the artwork I drew up using the center... Stitched(?) Crochet work had a rather unfortunate resemblance to a butthole. Tattoos are permanent and memorial tattoos are very personal - it's more important to make them attractive and meaningful than factually correct. I would hate to have someone mention something like "hey that looks like a butthole!" thinking they were being funny and cause a client to feel embarrassed or upset about their work. It is hurtful to both their self image and their memories of the person they got the tattoo for.
