Thought I'd share my new ink in progress...because of the size (and cost), I opted to get the outline done first, then will go back after it heals to get the color and shading done. It's a memorial tat for my friend Ellen, who passed away July 17, 2007, from complications stemming from spinal cancer. Pagans in the Philly area would know her as the woman who created the Broomcloset (www.broomcloset.org/), which is a wonderful website that helps network area pagans. Her favorite flower was the purple iris. The butterfly will be a monarch, and the kanji is "transformation."
