Damn no one had anything to say? I figured after almost 3 days someone would have said something.

I went to go see my artist on Friday and he said it isn’t completely healed and he doesn’t want to take a chance of it getting infected so we’re waiting until next Saturday at 3 to start the color and the background filling. I did not draw the idea by myself, I was originally looking to go with just red and the rest in black and gray but Erik (my artist) said it will look so much better if we threw some blue around the moon and added some earthy tones to the tree and just kept the background in black. I really liked poinsettias because i was thinking about a piece with a storm and having something indicating a sort of purity and something still living, or popping, from the storm so i chose a flower that means purity to me. One of my favorite songs has the lyrics “a poinsettia in poison rain” and it gave me this idea. I started looking for some tattoos in black and red and found a few i really liked and emailed them to Erik. I also saw a lot of tattoos that had trees that i really thought looked wicked and i thought of another song that says “sweet blasphemy, my giving tree, it hasn’t rained in years” and i liked the irony in that and figured all of these 3 ideas of the storm, poinsettia and a tree could look really cool. So to me it means a lot that he can make something i thought was a good idea and turn it into something i really love. I just cant wait to see the flowers pop out of the storm!

Behind the poinsettias is a tree, ill post some new pics on saturday when i go in and get the color added 🙂

I know im so excited to get the color done this saturday i know it’s going to look amazing. I’m going to update this thread with pictures as soon as i get home!
