+1 for fairytail tattoo ^^

[Charles.M]

Welcome!

Who is the artist who applied the lion, is it an original or a repro? Narrative chance here... lol

[oboogie]

What is that a thing on your shoulder? No idea what that is.

Welcome!

[thekamelien]

Charles.M, Jamie Winn is the artist who did the lion! Its a repro of my source material with her own adjustments.

[thekamelien]

oboogie, its a guild mark from an anime called fairy tail! It is a silhouette of a fairy with a tail, which is meant to symbolize eternal adventure and mystery since no one knows if fairies have tails or if they even exist.

your ribs tattoo came out great. when i see a tattoo like that, my first thought is "that could easily heal into a big black blob". props to your artist for having the technical skill to pull this off.

also: first tattoo on ribs? respect.

Love the lion!!

@otisc , that was one of Jamie's concerns too when I first sent her my source material during our online consultations. The size of the piece and her rendition of the material was to minimize the risks of it becoming a dark blob, and I really appreciated her taking the time to tell me her reasoning and make me a part of the process. She really took her time during the session as well, which was almost 5 hours. I don't think I could've had a better first experience getting tattooed, and this piece is one that I believe will be hard for me to top!
