Angel tattoos are probably the most common designs for women worldwide. Angel tattoos can be versatile and may be used to create unique designs in a lot of different ways.

Next is this tattoo of a moose: This piece was also done at Live Free Tattoo, but by artist Alan Berg ( @alanbergtattoo ). Sumita elaborates: "It’s a moose, in honor of Elizabeth Bishop’s poem , both because I love the poem and because it took twenty years for Bishop to get it right, which is one of my favorite compositional stories ever.
