Slowly but surely working on my tattoo - still doing some minor adjustments to the colors and shading, tweaking here and there. Unfortunately I found out I was allergic to white pigment (usually it's red or yellow for people, but I'm following in my Dad's footprints I guess), so all the light areas will be skin tone. I'll upload a sequence of it as it progresses.

For those interested - getting a tattoo between the shoulder blades may seem like a cool idea. If you have a low pain tolerance: DON'T. Put your index fingers and thumb together to form a diamond shape, and place it between your shoulder blades - that's the ouchie spot. Above, not bad. Below, also not bad. I figured I had a little padding on my rear...but wow - that was a tender spot where the tail is too! The rest is a cake walk...except over the ribs is horridly ticklish!

This piece has taken me a while to dream, ink, adjust, etc. This is a personal work - PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS as a tattoo. You don't know the meaning behind it, so don't use it. If I find...somewhere...someone has taken this...be warned - I am an excellent taxidermist...
