Morning Star

Work in progress. Taylor’s collector came to her wanting an homage to Alphonse Mucha, with a woman in the spirit of his “Morning Star” set high on the outer upper arm as the centerpiece of a full sleeve. Taylor has her raise one arm to shade her eyes from a burst of light at the shoulder, and drapes the cloth across the figure to keep the focus on her face and pose. Garden roses frame the figure and carry the sleeve down toward the wrist, tapering into a few loose leaves to achieve the best flow for the body. Taylor continued the sleeve live at the Longhorn State Tattoo Expo, all in her signature soft and peppery black and grey. By Taylor Phelps.
