You Guessed It!

A regular blog update just wouldn’t be complete without a koi sleeve on here!

And why not make that two koi sleeves while we’re at it.
 First one by Mehdi, second one by Roger Federer.

Ducksauce

Roger wants everybody to know that he loves Donal Duck and he finished this chestpiece a couple of days ago. Half fresh, half healed so the contrasts are a bit messed up now, but you get the idea.

Horikoi and Horidancer

Florencio finished up this koi and lotuses\loti\lotus flowers he started a while back on this guys back.
Mehdi added a little piece to fill up Charlie’s 3/4 to the wrist of a Indonesian dancer lady.

Picture Dump

Willem stayed true to this customers vision of his tattoo.

Amaterasu

The Japanese Shinto sun goddess, ruler of the Plain of Heaven.
Her full name “Amaterasu-Ō-Mi-Kami”, means “Great Goddess” or “Great Spirit Who Shines in the Heavens”.
She was so bright and radiant that her parents sent her up the Celestial Ladder to heaven, where she has ruled ever since.

When her brother, the storm-god Susanowa, ravaged the earth she retreated to a cave because he was so noisy. She closed the cave with a large boulder. Her disappearance deprived the world of light and life. Demons ruled the earth. The other gods used everything in their power to lure her out, but to no avail. Finally it was Uzume who succeeded. The laughter of the gods when they watched her comical and obscene dances aroused Amaterasu’s curiosity. When she emerged from her cave a streak of light escaped (a streak nowadays people call dawn). The goddess then saw her own brilliant reflection in a mirror which Uzume had hung in a nearby tree. When she drew closer for a better look, the gods grabbed her and pulled her out of the cave. She returned to the sky, and brought light back into the world.

 

Dim Sum Thursday

90 Minutes in and I’m still staring at a blank screen. All I got is this stupid title that doesn’t even make any sense what so ever. We didn’t even have dim sum today.

Pretty stupid I can think of anything relevant to say, because this is a
picture that could have quite some text with it.
But, by the looks of it, I think this one will pass by here a couple of times more before it’s finished. So I’ll have a second chance sometime soon to make up for today.

All I have to say is, this is Kees, he’s getting a full bodysuit by Mehdi, and he has quite a way to go still.
Thanks for tuning in, have a great night, and see you tomorrow.

C’est la vie.

Bueno

Este es un tatuaje por el luchador magnífico.

Un hecho interesante # 2391:
En realidad, hay una estatua dorada de Buda de la vida real en Bangkok, que tiene el récord mundial de mayor estatua de oro en el mundo.
La estatua es de 3 metros de altura y pesa 5,5 toneladas, se cree que se han realizado durante el período de Sukhothai en el siglo 13.

‘O Solar Mio

Our main man Niels came in today to start his sleeve with Mehdi.

It’s not as traditional Japanese as you would expect from Mehdi, this one has a little bit of a twist to it.

It depicts Amaterasu, the japanese sun goddess. I’ll have more about that, and the hidden Imp and the mirror and the necklace on the next post.

I just wouldn’t be myself if I told you everything at once, now would I?
