3 hours and a half of pure joy, 100% made in Japan, where tattoos are supposed to carry an immense social stigma. Well, that's what my colleagues at work said, but so far the only social stigma I've experienced is girls in bars telling me to take my shirt off so they can get a good look at it. That, and one hot girl massaging my back and telling me "oh, you poor baby, it must have hurt so much!" =)
I kinda miss the red hue it had when it was still fresh, but I'm thinking of getting some color done on it anyway.
My only regret is not having made it bigger, but eventually I will get my whole back done. I'm thinking of getting a tiger of similar style/size with some clouds/landscape on the lower back. And maybe a Canadian Red Ensign (that's the old canadian flag) on my shoulder.
