My back piece is completely done and healed and I love it more and more every day. 6 sessions and about 15 hours. If anyone is ever in NY and looking to get tattooed, you need to check out Rodrigo Melo - northstartattoo.com He usually books out about a month in advance but he's totally worth it. He just posted a photo of it so now I can look at it without a mirror.
Oh my. The colours are so beautiful... Is she Quan Yin?
I'm not exactly sure who she is. My artist has a book of godesses done by a Chinese artist, and he took inspiration for her from there. But the book is in Chinese so I don't even know that artist's name. I keep meaning to have him photocopy the title page so I can ask a friend of mine who knows Chinese, but every session I had at the shop, that was the last thought on my mind...
