Description I did this from a really loose sketch that I did. I wanted to do it so it looked like an old Japanese water color painting you see of cherry blossom trees with a real loose feel to it and blobs of color for the flowers. No real defined details or lines. When I showed the customer the quick sketch I made for her I was actually surprised that she didn't laugh at me and walk out lol! But after I explained it she was cool with the idea of all brush strokes and the painting look of it. I had no reference material to look at when I did the tattoo, it was all done on her like I was drawing it or painting it on paper so it was cool to get to tattoo from an image I pictured in my head rather than from a piece of paper or copied from something else. The freedom to be creative is fun.

The soft lines look really amazing. The flow of it looks really natural and I love the random little petals dropping. I can't wait to see more.

Sure, I'm hoping she comes back for healed pics. The shading in the branches will lighted up quite a bit and look alot softer. There's yellows in the center of the flowers also that will brighten up, we took the photo when it was freshly done so the bit of bleeding makes it look orange and hard to notice. Same as the flowers, there's red in there and alot of pink that looks red. the white highlights even have a tint of pink from the bleeding also. So yeah, to make a long story short lol, I'm hoping to get healed toned down pics lol. !!!!!!!!!!
