Hey, I’ve just had a portrait of my daughter done by Mark Bailey at the Golden Dragon in Chester. Have a look in my album I think there is a pic there.

That looks awesome! It made me smile when I saw. How long did it take and where is it?

Looks good, be nice to see more pics when its healed up properly.

Lovely, like the tiger espec.

Really beautiful and a wonderful piece of art to represent your children.

No, no outline at all on the skul. So it’s almost a part of the rose and blends into the rose. I’ve seen a similar pic somewhere but for the life of me can’t remember where. Thanks anyway.

I think it would depend on the poem , and font styles will make a difference too .
