Hey.. I didnt do a full day today so I got to watch the England world cup game 🙂 I did 3 hrs finishing off bits here and there… it still needs around 3-4 hrs to finish everything but I did get the outline of my Geisha done today.. oh and I had the armpit worked on for over 1hr continous.. and that was the worst area for pain I have had done so far and its quite sore at the minute.. looking forward to it healing in a week….but thank fook thats all done now…its all the easy stuff left now 😎

Here’s a pic of the Geisha.. it was had to take a pic..as its right on the back of my arm.. cant wait to finish off my whole upper arm….after 1 more sitting 🙂

p.s anyone lookin through at the progress pics….all the Tiger and Fish tattoos are not mine.. 😉

I’ve got another 6hr session booked for next wednesday… this will be a biggie! I want to get the whole thing finished …but something tells me… it wont all get done, but I am hoping it will be.. that will be a total of 18 hours… is that about normal amount of time for a half sleeve?

I thought it would be nice to tell you about my Buddha, as i didnt explain much about it. The Buddha I have is called The Emerald Buddha, it is kept in ‘The Temple of the Emerald Buddha in the Grand Palace in Bankok. The reason it is called the Emerald Buddha is because it was thought that it was made of Emerald but later found it was made of Jade and then covered in Gold and very stunning looking and dates back to 47bc.

The word ‘Buddha’ translates to ‘The Awakened One’.

Here is a picture of the Buddha.

I’ll be going back in 2 weeks to have the buddha’s head dress completed and will look nicely finished with the same style head dress as seen in the pic. I drew in on myself to see how it will look completed and it will look pretty nice… so looking forward to this. The Buddha is believed to bring wisdom and protection.
