Banner Blade preview
Flash Classics£0.99

Banner Blade

Tattoo banners historically gave names, mottos and dedications a place inside the image. Left deliberately blank beside a blade, this modern version becomes an open emblem of resolve: the words, person or principle worth standing behind are yours to supply.
