Oh my goodness, how do you people take such nice photos of yourselves?! I've contorted myself into the most ridiculous poses and these are the best I can do. So apologies for TERRIBLE photos in advance. I tried, I really did.

Anyway, so here are some healed pics of my arm. I've got myself another appointment with the same artist next week. I'm thinking that I would like him to add more flowers, probably pink peonies. He does amazing flowers, and I am more than happy to let him just draw them on as he thinks best. I was thinking that I'd like him to go up onto my shoulder a bit more at the back, and then underneath my arm and maybe a bit lower down but not too far (down to the elbow). But now I'm excited and want to talk about it and started thinking that maybe I should ask you, oh wise LSTers, if you had any other ideas that I might want to consider? Is this a good idea? Something else? Different layout?

I want to make sure that I've considered all options, as I never intended on getting this tattoo on my arm at all, so haven't really had much time to think it all through! I have an accidental cohesive arm tattoo :D

Thanks everyone :-)

I hadn't considered a traditional Japanese background... that's definitely food for thought. I'll have a look at some.

I do also love his birds, but I wonder if other critters would look odd with the kitsune as the scale would be all out. Though I suppose a bird would be roughly the size of a foxes head perhaps. Too many creatures?

I must admit, I had been thinking ahead to a backpiece... so I'll mention that to Rodrigo so he can factor in making it extendable in the future.

@Pugilist Definitely! I'm really open to his suggestions, I just wanted to be a bit more prepared for this appointment than the last one. Which pretty much went along the lies of me: "on my back?", him: "nope. Arm?", me: " oh uh... go on then." Now, if he says for example "what about adding a traditional Japanese background" I know that I've spent time looking into what that looks like and what *his* look like, more importantly. Now I know that I'd be really happy with that idea, whereas yesterday I wouldn't have known.

I've spent some time today sat in the sun with a nice cold lager browsing both Rodrigo's and other peoples Instagrams to get a feel for it. And I'm very excited and really open to whatever he'd like to do to me really. Yay :-)
