My little sister pulled this picture off of the internet, and says "hey! Tattoo this on me!" and I said "sure."

She drove me nuts through the whole thing. It's on her lower back, which does hurt, and she wiggled most of the time. That, and with each line I did, she wanted me to wait or take a picture. This tattoo took about 5 hours. At the end, she started to cry, and my Mom was like "OMG! FINISH IT!" and I just started putting the highlighting in it.

Although it was a lot of trouble, I am happy with the turn out. There's some touching up that needs to be done on it, like the shading in the leaves and straightening out some of the lines, but she loves it. It was a challenge for me, and I'm getting better. I've gotten a lot of compliments from professionals that say my work reflects someone who's been tattooing for several years. Now if only I could open up my own studio. Oh well!! :)
