Yesterday my uncle Mav welcomed Sam into the family by giving him his first tattoo. Isn't it fantastic?
Sam handled it like a pro, and couldn't have had a better artist. My uncle Mav is one of the coolest people I know, and his work simply the best. He's a rare kind of man who wears slacks and button up shirts on a daily basis. I've only seen him wear blue jeans a few times in my life, and that was of course only to do yard work or paint the house, and they were always cuffed.
So it was a lot of fun to spend time with him in his shop, Deluxe Tattoo. Seriously, if you are in the Portland area and looking to get a top rate tattoo, thats the place to go. Say hi to my uncle Mav for me.

swoon @ your uncle mav!
Go Scotland!!!
I've been wanting to get some tattoos...and I definitely want a top rate artist. :)
That's a great tattoo, and it's even better that a family member could do it
Is it wrong that I have a crush on your uncle Mav for his weet tattoo skills?
oh that came out cool :)
Uncle is handsome :)

Fabulous! Lines and color in one day for a first tattoo! You've got a pretty staunch husband there, lady!
Wow! What a great person to have in the family! A very talented (and stylish) man.
Very fine work indeed - beautiful shading.
With a tattooist in the family I've been wondering if you would get one yourself, wondering what it would be - something with a rockabilly twist, surely...

i really like sam's tattoo, the colors are awesome and the draw too !!
looks great! It is great when people put a lot of thought into a tattoo and wait a while before getting one. It is awesome that his first tattoo was big too rather than small. Mine is big as well (my only one).
What a brave man! Filling in the color is the worst, eh Sam?
Your uncle is so handsome! That's a great tattoo...the red is lovely
Yeah, he's pretty hot!
Wow. Mav did a really nice job. I'd like to get some tattoos, but I'm always worried that I'll get someone who does a shoddy fill job. Nothing drives me crazier than an unintended splotchy fill.
Nice choice, Sam. How long did that take?
That is a really great tattoo! Did he really do it all in one session?
Courtney, it took a little over two hours.
Arielle, yep!
Cool looking tat! I don't have the guts to get one. I'm too afraid of how it will look when I'm older :)
Ah, cool! I love his slick hair, too :) I wish my Mr would get a tattoo...
Sam's tattoo looks so awesome! Your uncle Mav did an amazing job!! I really love that your uncle dresses properly everyday!

That tattoo is very similar to Finlands coat of arms: http://kuvat2.iltasanomat.fi/iltasanomat/iDoc/2017431-400_vaakuna.jpg
