Japanese tat 1
Sorry this is a crappy pic, but people have been asking to see it - so until I can get a proper pic taken, here it is. This is the tattoo on the left side of my back, about 14" tall. It is a Japanese haiku (poem) which says: "A flash of lightning. The sound of drops among the bamboo". (don't worry, it definitely does say that, I had it designed by a Japanese calligraphy master and I checked the translation myself) I had it added to with Japanese waves and traditional cherry blossom flowers. It fits in with the theme of flowers across my body, and eventually I may have bamboo leaves coming across the left from my ribcage :-) Tattoo artist: Ken Patten of The Tattoo Station , Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England.

Chrysanthemums
Here's my first effort at drawing chrysanthemums. One more for the coloring book..

Half-Sleeve : Session One
This is my new tattoo. It's a Japanese-style half-sleeve on my left upper arm [windblocks, waves, peony flowers, and cherry blossom flowers]. I hate to admit it, but this was one of the worst pains I've ever had--I actually cried. I didn't even cry with my other big one. I didn't even think I'd be able to finish the outline it hurt so bad. I mean, I knew it was going to hurt, I had NOOOO clue that it was going to be THAT bad. It was aweful. Hopefully the shading/coloring won't hurt as bad. I'm guessing it will take AT LEAST two more sessions to finish it. At least it looks awesome though! It's going to be fabulous once it's finished!!.
