So I went "under last-night"....

[vaughan]

Well... last night was my first of MANY sessions for my new "work"...
I have decided to embark on a traditional Japanese "body-suit" called "KAME-NO-KAH" or Turtle Back. Well... traditional in the actual content, not traditionally done by hand-tattooing(w/out a machine). There will be slight modifications since the kame-no-kah has no "sleeves"... I already have a gobu (five-tenths sleeve) on one arm, and some old work on the other.

I have been reading and researching for quite some time and finally have decided to go in. I have been working on the design with my good friend and artists, Danny Balena of www.mobink.com. I am looking forward to this since I "intend" on documenting each session... recovery, thoughts, complications, changes etc. in my journal with pics... soooo... stay tuned!!!

In the meantime you can see where he started on my upper shoulder/back with a koi. Only worked on it for approx. 2 hours... got late and i had to be up early.

Thanks guys... I was supposed to finish the entire Koi... but it was getting late(around 1am) and I had to be up early. I'm no starnger to this kind of pain, but for some reason, I was a bit "sensitive" last night... was saying "Gooooosefrapa" over and over! LOL! ;D

So after 2 hours, I had enough... will start work on my Dragon next Tuesday, and then resume the Koi the following week after it has had time to heal a bit.
