Tattoo pics
Image links are moderately NSFW; obvious nudity, profile of boobage in a few shots, nothing graphic.
So I just sent the following to my artist:

Chris, above is the link to the shots we took last night. If you need us to get some in other lighting so you can see colors better, we can do that; we just didn't have better available at the time.
As a reminder; here's what I recall us talking about at the time:
The figure on the outside of my arm and the curled figure on the ball of my shoulder were the only parts we'd declared "done". You'd said the blue was to be an undershading for the dark sandstone colors I wanted in the background, and that the orange ribbon would eventually be darker and more red-orange. We had plans to take this all the way down to my knee eventually, and I'm pretty sure I'm still interested in doing so, although I'd like to mostly finish my arm and upper shoulder before we start down that path, if possible. All of the figures are from representations of sculptures and carvings that I'd found, so we were trying to maintain a rough, carved element to them, and using the ribbon and background to try to pull together so many disparate styles.
I wouldn't have come to you initially, and I wouldn't be coming back now if I weren't immensely impressed with your skill and artistry, so I really want to leave a lot of the artistic decisions to you in how we proceed on this. I'm not sure in what ways your style has evolved over the years, but I'm curious to find out.
