My sister and I both got this tattoo, ours are all black, back in 2004 or 2005 in Los Angeles by an artist named Able. Can't remember the name of the shop. I looked for 2 years to find the design. It makes me happy to see others have it as well.
Can you tell me how you find the artist I'd like to see more of his work. I've actually saved this design to get a tattoo for myself I just found out this year that I had ancestors on the trail of tears.
Actually a design by native american artist, Ken Masters... I modified it myself, adding the colors of the seven points of the spiritual compass and had it inked on my arm.
