Married for 21 years and having nine children, at the heart of Victoria and Albert ‘s famous marriage was a deep love bond. A double masquerade work celebrates the iconic pair, and their tattoos reflect their individual interests; Victoria adored hummingbirds, and the Royal Coat of Arms is on her left hand. Her favourite motto was that of the monarch of the United Kingdom, ‘Dieu et Mon Droit’. Albert has a delicate tattoo of an anchor on his cheek, a reference to the HMS Prince Albert, a coastal defence ship built in 1864.
