Ledt Arm 1st Session
Here is the result of my 1st session with Don at Art Freek Tattoo. His skills are amazing and I am very pleased. Notice the old tribal coverup? (damn grunge era lol) I opted for a somewhat traditional Japanese dragon and Don created from scratch this piece with orchids, water and fire. This is the 1st of many sessions as I am doing both arms and chest..

session3
Ok I skipped posting session 2 on here and seesion 3's photo is terrible due to flash reflecting off of the cocoa butter on my arm. I have a little bit more to go on this one and we will finish when I start my third piece which will connect both arms and span across my chest. The work will begin in 2 weeks. Again this was a tribal coverup that Don at Artfreek has done a great job on so far..

Imperial Gaurdian Lion (Foo Dog)
Here are the results of session one "the chest" This will be a full sweep of my chest covering up the Taurus on the left. The chest has thus far been the most painful but yet tolorable I chose a Foo Dog which is also know as an Imperial Guardian Lion or lion of Buddha. The following is an excerpt from wikipedia: An imperial guardian lion, also called a Fu Lion, Foo Dog, lion of Buddha, or sometimes stone lion (Pinyin: Shíshī) in Chinese art[1], is a common representation of the lion in pre-modern China, which is believed to have powerful mythic protective powers that has traditionally stood in front of Chinese Imperial palaces, temples, emperors' tombs, government offices, and the homes of government officials and the wealthy from the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD), until the end of the empire in 1911. In Tibet, the guardian lion is known as a Snow Lion and similar to Japanese shishi.
