First session, took about 4 hours, and 2 before that to get it sharpied on. It's about 1/4 of the way done, according to my artist. Still have to add the Kanji in the tapestry, coloring, and also negative space in the background for wind bars. The tattoo will be extended below my waist line, with it actually looking like it's growing out of my hip. Grass will be added at the hip line, too. Extends from middle of stomach, around rib cage, and to the middle of my back. Top of tree is on the bottom of my left shoulder blade. About 14 - 20 hours to go.. Symbolic
