The Story Of Jonah On My Arm (phase 1)

January 13, 2010 in Culture, Featured with 4 Comments

I’ve become obsessed with the story of Jonah because it’s such a beautiful picture of God’s character. In four chapters we see His grace as he offers the Ninevites an opportunity to repent. We see God pursuing Jonah as he runs from Him and how God rescues Jonah from death as he’s thrown into the sea.

As I was researching Jonah for a series thElement went through in October, I found this beautiful painting that brought the story off the Sunday School felt board.

Recently, I meet Rob Jarrett, an amazing tattoo artist who is apart of the Discovery Church fam, and he drew up a beautiful sleeve for me based on the painting.

Below are some pictures of phase 1 (the outline without shading) taken with my phone.

Here is a short video Rob shot to get all the angles.

FYI: Phase 1 took 5.5 hours!

This tattoo will be an amazing reminder of God’s character.

Keep your eyes open for phase 2 of the tattoo
