=CIARA'S NURSE=

 I LOVE DOING TRADITIONAL TATTOOS... ESPECIALLY WHEN I GET TO BRING THEM UP TO SPEED WITH SOME MODERN DAY FINESSE. THIS ONE WAS DONE FOR MY GOOD FRIEND CIARA, TO COMMEMORATE HER GRADUATING NURSING SCHOOL AND LANDING A POSITION AT A LOCAL HOSPITAL.
THE QUOTE AROUND THE NURSE IS FROM THE FIRST NURSE EVER, FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE, "HEALTH IS NOT ONLY TO BE WELL, BUT TO USE WELL EVERY POWER THAT WE HAVE" ...CONGRATS CIARA!!! THIS WAS SO FUN FOR ME, THANKS!!!

FUNNY THING IS, THIS ALL STARTED FROM THE FRAIR TUCK TATTOO... AND BLAKE SAID, " EH... I THINK I'LL JUST DO ALL OF 'EM..." WELL DONE BLAKE, WELL DONE SIR.
