Plum Peony Reliquary

Work in progress. Luiza is reworking an older floral tattoo on the collector's upper arm. The original piece means a lot to the collector, so Luiza kept its essence while giving it richer color and cleaner edges. She built it as a symmetrical stack of deep plum peonies running from the shoulder cap down the outside of the arm, with a pale jewel-like spine and dotted filigree tying the blooms together so the whole piece follows the length of the arm. Two sessions so far. By Luiza Fortes.
