John was raised in New Orleans, it's in his blood. Paris is the motherland, so it was only right that he pay homage to both. Both Fleur De Lis' are drawn from the same design, but the New Orleans tribute on his left wrist is smooth, and fairly new-looking. The Paris tribute on his right wrist is old, aged, and full of history. My initial pencil sketches were re-drawn in Charcoal medium to capture a more gritty, raw feel. My charcoal drawings were then used as reference for the tattoo. Enjoy!
