oboogie 2,073 Posted October 14, 2016 What is that a thing on your shoulder? No idea what that is. Welcome! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thekamelien 8 Posted October 14, 2016 Charles.M, Jamie Winn is the artist who did the lion! Its a repro of my source material with her own adjustments. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thekamelien 8 Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) 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.

otisc 309 Posted October 15, 2016 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.

thekamelien 8 Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) @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!
