Susan's sleevework -- Tattoo in progress












Greg worked on my tattoo this week. Basically it follows a Japanese theme. Raijin and Fujin are the gods of thunder and wind and then there are the traditional cherry blossoms and chrysanthemum. The upper part of the arm - and onto my back in koi and waves. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raijin Wikipedia is an excellent tool.
Obviously, the sleeve is in progress. This type of work is about the process as much or more than about the outcome. The evolving - unfolding of the artwork is really more inspiring than the sleeve itself. Will post the rest of the series after work today.
