This was not a tattoo design , as everyone seems to think, but it was just me practicing with Sharpie and red ink. There is a strange attraction in blood, especially when symbolic, for me, and i wanted to make a piece that would capture that symbolism. Without blood being spilled, there can be no forgiveness. Without a type of sacrifice, there is no redemption.

time is what keeps things from happening at once.<br /> i will show you fear in a hand full of dust.

I love this piece, it blew my mind. I understand where you were going and how the symolisism of the sacrifice and pain for redemption is needed. awesome job
