Mametz – Somme memorial tattoo

Val came in for a piece based on the Mametz Wood Somme memorial (please take a read of the history here, its very interesting:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mametz_Wood_Memorial). This was a lot of fun to do, and really interesting to hear about Val and Nigels travels to WWI and WWII sites.

“This morning, twenty men buried in one long grave,
a broken mosaic of bone linked arm in arm,
their skeletons paused mid dance-macabre”

Clouds and stars

A few weeks ago Nij came in for the writing on his arm. He decided he wanted some clouds and stars added so came back in this weekend.
