I had Katy and Chad take new pics of my primary tattoo last week, since I was sending them off to someone who's working academically on fat body image. As long as I've got some newer shots (I think the last I posted were ages ago, from the day after the session when everything was still red and tender), I thought I'd share them here.

My previous bodyart posts, for reference/explanation/image sources

On the pics behind the cut: There's a bit of side-boob and some incidental butt-crack in the pics, but they're not explicit. On the other hand, the images in the tattoo are explicit nudes, so make your own call about worksafeness.

Only the two main images are easily searchable, and I've made most of my flickr account private, but all images are from various sculptures of the female form throughout time and across cultures. Here's info about the central arm image and the central back image:

Arm: Dancing Venus of Galgenberg
Back: Venus of Laussel

Side view Tattoo so far. Central arm image is Dancing Venus of Galgenberg, central back figure is Venus of Laussel. See the little spots down in the red, where the tattoo is incomplete? This is why your artist tells you not to pick at things! I expect stern lectures when he fixes my lack of self-control there during our next session.
