New tattoo!!

I’ve had this really bad, unfinished looking, dragon on my back for a few years and after I got a tattoo gift certificate for my birthday, I decided to have it covered up. Here’s a before picture:

It’s been a few years since I’ve had a tattoo and I forgot how much they hurt! The outline was the worst. After that was over, the endorphins kicked in and the shading and coloring was a breeze. Well, almost.

Drawing the new tattoo:

Thanks so much to Hank for doing such a great job. And Carrie for being my moral support and photographer!
