a fair of fire-lizards
Feb. 4th, 2024 09:23 pmSaturday i had the first session for my new tattoo (it will probably take around 12 hours all told). i had a grand time*, and it looks and feels good so far. this is the inspiration:
[Elizabeth Malczynski Littman cover art for Dragonsong by Anne McCaffrey; Art Nouveau influenced image of a woman playing pan pipes surrounded by delicate spindly miniature dragons, with stylized spiral waves of ocean water]
it's a sleeve of fire-lizards and spirals. we talked about trying to get all nine, but i am not a giant, so there will be five, which will at least get me all the canonical colors. right now i have blacklines for four. number five and the first background and color pass comes next month.
*we had a conversation about image transfers, and i talked about the smell and the sense-memory of getting ditto handouts in elementary school. she had assumed i was about 15 years younger than i am. Bless.
