I have the most respect for the pieces that actually take weeks/months/years? and are a gradual project.

And I would simplify it a bit to compensate for the "bleeding" they tend to do as they age... and yeah, without or (with minimal) color.

Yi!! I don't think I'd ever be brave enough to get a permanent thing like that affixed to so much of my body. Wow.

Incidentally, I was asked to draw a dragon for someone wanting a tatoo. Should be interesting; I've never drawn something for a tatoo before, and although I've tried before to draw dragons, I've never done one seriously.

really, i've always kind of wanted to design tattoos because.... well, because it seems like it would be a real cool thing to do.

Now, there's something I'd like to see a pic of one day, in hopefully not a too distant future.

There's one dragon tat I'll never get out of my head, and that would be the legendary "Puff the Magic Dragon" (available through google for those who don't know it and are.. er.. old enough to see it..). I couldn't help thinking "omigod that's so cute!" Yeah, I'm kinda weird like that.

Another year's gone by, and I was thinking once again, How can I take this losing hand and somehow win? Just give me One Good Year To get my feet back on the ground. I've been chasing grace; Grace ain't so easily found One bad hand can devil a man, chase him and carry him down. I've got to get out of here, just give me One Good Year!
