Surprise! I researched for a month before finally finding my Tico (Male Costa Rican) tattoo artist, David. David did such an excellent job on the tattoo and my friend Amy (I gave her less than 24 hours to help me clean up the art work in Adobe Illustrator) incredibly, cleaned up the illustration. Thank you both for helping me to create such a fine and memorable piece of art. I also want to thank Allen for his inspiration and suggestion of using the Phoenix of the Imperial mark. Imperial is the beer of choice in Costa Rica. I chose not to fill in the outline, because I knew the healing process was going to hurt a bit. Ha! So, the next time I visit CR I will have David fill it in. WooHoo!:
