…I’m done.

For now.

The Yoga Ink Saga.

Not as important as writing about the current state of yoga, but I’m tired….turning inward and slowly checking out.

Tattoos are like India — ya either love ’em or hate ’em, I don’t think there is any in-between. While Serena was setting up yesterday she told me about a dreamcatcher she was going to tattoo on the back of a guy’s head (obviously he’s bald.) The tattoo was also going to include a set of antlers coming up onto his scalp that would “hold” the spider web he already has. Hey, everyone needs a pair of antlers on their head, right?

Today I went for the second sitting and for some crazy reason I thought it would be finished today. I did not realize how complicated it is! Here it is, minutes after I got off the table, in all its raw glory — click on pic for a better view:

The staminal column (the official name for the inside of a hibiscus flower instead of having stamens, pistels, or filaments) is yellow but probably does not look like it because of the fresh blood. Also, the lotus petals inside the yantra are not as red as they appear, they are more pinkish but again, because of the blood the initial color will be different. More information that you want to know, I’m sure!

Of course, now the butterfly needs freshening up. Never ending…just like plastic surgery or so I hear!
