Short Story
An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life.
“A fight is going on inside me,”
he said to the boy.
“It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.”
He continued,
“The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.”
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather,
“Which wolf will win?”
The old Cherokee simply replied,
“The one you feed.”

Progress
Upper Outer Arm
Francisco’s process was knocking out the main portrait going with arm sizing and focal point.
Upper Inner Arm
Next was going after the inner arm and into the arm pit.
Wrap Around
Then he went after the wrist, while this sets up the alignment of how we’ll merge the digital around the arm connecting to my upper inner arm.

Project Outcome
Memorable and Successful Tattoo Experience
Frank exceeded all expectations with the tattoo he created for me. Not only is he an incredibly talented artist, he is also down-to-earth and easy to work with. He took my ideas and vision and interpreted them in a way that best suited my body and skin type.
The final result is a truly unique and stunning tattoo that has received many compliments. I am extremely pleased with the quality of the tattoo, from the needles and ink used to the arrangement of the art and the healing process.
Frank is the real deal and I highly recommend him for anyone looking for high-quality tattoo work.
