Bunny Switchblade Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 How long did you sit for? I can't imagine what that feels like.... From start to finish it was about two and a half to three hours! I had a couple breaks...but not very long so most of that time was spent drilling on my head! I was determined I was not going to tap out!!! I can tell you this......it hurts....at least for me it did! ;) Duffa and Reyeslv 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=37#findComment-31446 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunny Switchblade Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 a foo dog day afternoon. ha...ha....anyone? Actually it is a Tibetan Snow Lion.....I think a foo dog is Japanese? Maybe it is Chinese...... I was wondering about that........because I know the Snow Lion is a Tibetan/Bubhist thing Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=37#findComment-31461 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CultExciter Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Well, I think it is relatively multicultural. I just have a dry sense of humor. Looks so sick!

CultExciter Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 In Chinese and Japanese culture, obviously, foo-dogs or shishi are protectors of either important places, shrines, etc. I think the lion is Tibet is one of the four auspicious animals, but don't quote me.

Stitch626 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Shishi is the Chinese version, Komainu is the Japanese version.. Okinawa even has their on version, first time I've heard of it called a Snow dog though :) Pretty wicked looking!

Actually...."Snow Lion"....Wikipedia is the first place i went to look when Dave called and said he wanted to do this instead of a dragon! "From 1909 until 1959 a single snow lion or a pair of these mythological animals were used as national emblem of Tibet on the coins, poststamps, banknotes and the national flag of Tibet" I really loved the drawing but I am really actually loving the tattoo the more I read about what it all signifies!

kirkson Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Awesome snow lion. Definitely on my list. Its one of the four dignities (along with dragon, tiger and garuda). The 4 aspects of a Bodhisattva. Snow lion is unconditional cheerfulness, a mind free of doubt. Powerful symbol. Love it.
