Poppy Queen

Luiza crowns this portrait with a halo of golden spikes and closes the woman's eyes to give the piece a calm, devotional feel. Red poppies fall from her shoulder down the leg, and Luiza has her hand grip the hilt of a sword that runs down the shin, carrying the composition the full length of the leg to follow its natural line. Done over three days at the Longhorn State Tattoo Expo, and won first place in the Best Original category. By Luiza Fortes.
