Put a "Birb" on it

What is a '"birb"? As everyone knows by now, Portland likes to "put a bird on it" (meh) but Dustin wanted a "birb", and at first I was like, "WTH is that? And what is the difference between a "birb" and a "bird"? And what about this "borb" that I'm also seeing on the socials?" But then he started talking about puffins and I thought, "OK-- now, that's something I can work with; I can tattoo a Puffin for him!"

He says, "I love critters (my sweetie calls me Critter) and I love birds and bird watching. I also like light-hearted, comic depictions of critters. And puffins are funny anyhow (which does not mean they are not also fierce). And tufted puffins are becoming rare in the PNW, so I am happy to promote awareness and protection of this amazing species. I see my tattoo as a kind of talisman and I hope I can offer some protection to tufted puffins in return."

Here are some photos of the drawing, the very fresh outline (you can still see some of the purple stencil) and very very fresh final tattoo stages.
