A little explanation:
The sunburst was inspired by a Art Nouveau-era stained glass ceiling in Barcelona.
Hooter created the raven just a few weeks ago from a number of photos I showed him.
The foo dog is from the New Tattoo album, but I also see him as my protector. Keeps the evil out, just like the at the Buddist Temples.
The Lotus character took me a long time to find. It is both in honor of Nana, and a reminder of how far I have come (Buddist symbolism again).
Glad to be finally get the shots taken and posted.
