Hey. Had this done today. We had an idea while my work mate tattoed me up. Thinking Chinese inscriptions, or perhaps folklore saying. Any ideas peeps :)

that's an interesting design. Is there any history behind it or something made upon the spur of the moment

On the design no not really. It is a commercial pattern out there for free usually. On the personal side, as the tat has had some minor changes, I like you have a love for big cats, namely for me, and somewhat obvious I guess, the Tiger. I also have a personal love of the Panzer VI, so those coupled together was what made me make the particular choice of art work.

Oh I forgot to mention that it was done in single 3.5 hour session. And yeah towards the end, the colouring was a little painful at times.

Oh guess what, sure DD will have a good chuckle :) but it got infected. Been subscribed "Flucloxacillin capsules" 500mg for the anti effect. Not much was on the surface, I can't remember the name, but there is a condition where the foot swells considerably and Red blotches and skin appeared. Not only that my left peg is still swollen. Not as bad now, but being 44 in March, no disrespect, but failing to the inevitable just ain't my thing! Should have healed by now!!

Cellulitis. And I'm not laughing. Infections happen, even in the OR. And that's about as clean as it gets.

No worries I was joking. Thankfully the swelling has all but disappeared now. Was kinda scary though. I normally heal very quickly, but that swelling was quite severe. Good thing it is one time only, thought the anti biotics seemed very strong in milligrams.
