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!!.

Hakka Chinese Tattoo Half Sleeve
This is a composite of my Hakka Chinese half sleeve on my left arm. The left image is the inside view of my arm, which shows a traditional Hakka Village. The middle image is the side view of my arm, which shows a female Hakka farmer in traditional dress. The right view is the angle if you were looking at my arm from the front..

Black Dragon Rising
Ta-daaaaaa! All done. I asked Billy about the eyes, if he was going to finish them as they were completely blank. He told me that traditionally, the eyes of Japanese dragons are left til last, he thinks there's some superstition that if you don't do them last the dragon will turn on its owner. Thankfully, we won't be anticipating any mad dragon incidents as the last two dots of this session were his eyes. So, whaddya think???.
