Tattoine!

Yes, I've finally started on my next tattoo. Freakin' 6 hours in the chair for the outline alone. I'll probably have to have 4 sittings to color it in. I'll be back under the gun in a couple of weeks to finish the faerie portion. Then 3 sittings within the next few months for the dragon.When it's done, it will look a little something like this:



Of course, I've tweaked it a bit to make it my own. Instead of the ledge, I have the faerie perched on the dragon's tail instead. And I'm having the faerie done all in pinks (for Elizabeth - Pink is her signature color). And I also had Elizabeth's name and birthdate put in there inside one of the curves of the dragon's tail.
It's a fairly large piece, probably measuring 10 inches by 12 inches or so. It takes up the entire middle of my back from the 3 faeries down to the lei of flowers. Eventually, I'll put in flowers and leaves and such as fillers, and it will be an entire backpiece. I have no idea when it will be finished, but I'm in no rush.
The only downside... it itches like mad while it's healing.
