to start the ball rolling – here we have my phase one of my sleeve. in progress.
truth be told it’s been in progress a very long time. since the fall of 2005 when we started the eight auspicious symbols. the entire arm is full of buddhist (with a hint of zen) imagery, starting with the symbols. as we continue down the tattoo path, you’ll find more buddhist images such as lotus flowers, cherry blossoms and tibetan prayer flags. add in there a vajra and a zen circle and it’s a pretty damn amazing tattoo. we’ll be done with it by the end of the year.
this is probably my favorite picture of any of my tattoos – for starters, i just love the lighting, how it’s hitting trevor’s hand… and then there are the golden fish… i love, love, love how the fish turned out.
spent sometime tonight organizing digital pictures into files and it occurred to me that i have a shit load of digital camera pics of my sleeve in progress and i remember mentioning to my tattoo artist trevor (formerly of steady tattoo in minneapolis, now in la la land) that i had the running history of my arm – i thought maybe i should do something with all those pics.
so welcome to atomic pop-ink! here i will detail out my personal love of tattooing, my ink and ink that i dig.
hope you enjoy and hey, if you have ink of your own, then by all means, send it my way – i’ll feature it here!
cheers.
