A photo dairy of my new tattoo. It is being done by Jason Mosseri , Alex Binnie's partner at the Into-You tattoo salon in Brighton. It is a traditional Japanese sleeve incorporating  a snake!  this represents my chiness birth sign.  (1965 is the wood snake) A skull! this represents my spiritual beliefs in mortality and the transient nature of life, death and re-birth. The waves represent constant change and movement, a Zen aspect of conscious change. The cherry blossom represents renewal and transience.
The first session was 31st Jan, I have been in for another 4 hours of outlines, next will be the shading. This has started as you can see from the photos. Check back regular to see it  progress.
I will be Back in on 29th April for another 3 hour session - adding colour to the snake, skull and cherry blossom. Can't wait...
