Phyllis Bonardi was a client of mine for many years, who became a dear friend. She passed away July 24th, 2003 at the age of 50; way too young, and I have missed her dearly.
To the studio she was always known as the Cookie Lady, as she would bless us regularly with the best chocolate chip cookies ever made... the best! Phyllis had a lot of tattoo work done all over, most of which were some sort of wildlife design. This back piece grew over time and many sittings; just as our friendship did too. As you can see she had perfect skin, and an imagination any real artist would love to be challenged by.
To Phyllis, I just want to say, thank you. Thank you for the years of laughter. Although I do miss those awesome cookies, I have missed your awesome laugh the most. Thank you for the love you showed me and my family through the years. The best part of being me, is having someone like you in my life and memories.... Thank you; miss you.
