Winding up
I have a couple of newer photos of an in-progress art nouveau inspired tattoo to share - The piece incorporates a bunch of local flower varieties, including: gladiolus, magnolias, swamp iris, camellia, and azalea.
It's a particularly labor intensive piece - and I'm trying to keep it simple! Execution wise that is. At this point we are somewhere in the middle stage, probably just past the middle. The middle stage is many hours long you see... but after the middle hump things really start to take shape. The overall look of this piece is going to change either the next sitting or the one after, once I go over the background again. You will see!

and since we we're going on about works in progress, I'll just throw in a few better pics of the scuba diver. Enjoy!
We just have his elbow left, and some bit here and there. Can't wait.
