A Supposedly Fun Thing

Posted on by


This is Laura’s sweet tribute tattoo for her parents, done by Wendi Ramirez at Shaman Modifications in Austin, Texas. I have to say, dad looks like a fun guy. Panama hat? Mustache? Aloha shirt? Nicely done. I’m a sucker for cruise-wear, what can I say?

  13. Very sweet. Portrait tattoos seem mostly to be copies of photographs, often portrait photos. Many portrait paintings seem to have a certain standard look or formula to them as well. Doing a portrait in a different way would make for a more interesting and challenging tattoo.

  25. Sadly both her parents have passed away, so no worries about the “potential father-in-law”.

    I think this is a fantastic tattoo with a deep personal meaning. Wendi is a great artist that captured Laura’s parents beautifully.
