Smith

I finally finished a tattoo that has been in progress for over a year on my good friend Smith. I've known Smith since I was 18 years old and he is an incredible artist himself. I feel very fortunate that he allowed me to do such a large piece on him.
Smith is a direct descendent of John Wesley Hardin, and so the tattoo is in keeping with his outlaw heritage.
The banner is his family motto, which is something along the lines of "The examples of his ancestors, followed without reproach."

We also started on his elbows (yes, both of them, the kid is a trooper). Hopefully those will be finished in the next couple of weeks.
