This is the art that I did for
cs_whitewolf's
tw_bigbang fic
Ink In My Coffee.
I claimed the fic on the basis of Ianto + tattoos = flail. I will admit I'm quite shallow and was not looking for plot, although I have to say I got some excellent plot as well as all the shameless images I was after. ;) Ianto and tattoos also made me think of Gareth - I couldn't help it, and even when
cs_whitewolf sent the rough draft and there was no mention of Ianto on a motorcycle I still couldn't help but make the bookcover. (Without ANY bribing she added it into the story - which is made of UBER win!)
When I claimed
cs_whitewolf's fic the first thing I asked was 'Can I draw a tattoo for Ianto?' and I'm so glad it was met with such enthusiasm. I ended up drawing this piece and incorporating the title of piece into the finished design.
cs_whitewolf even includes the tattoo in the story, which is awesome. I won't explain what each of the images mean in the piece, you'll just have to read the story to find out. ;)
Go and read
Ink In My Coffee, even if you've never liked AU's and known nothing about Prison Break (like me) it is still a brilliant read, and a great look at team Torchwood and the relationships between them all, especially Ianto/Jack.
