From Montreal’s Pat Pierce:
“This piece on an inner forearm was brought to me by a client who
wanted oak leaves shaped in the design of a six. The piece absolutely
had to be branded, we talked about it for several months and when the
time came he drove 11 1/2 hours to come and have the work done. My
client told me that his father always called his brother “his oak” and
his brother’s number in sports was six. He also stated that the oak
tree is one of the strongest woods and it does not make any sound
before it breaks, as do other woods. His brother, sadly, did not give
any warning or make any sound before he took his own life. This piece
was done as a memorial to him.”

this is truly beautiful.
