A write up the below will follow, but first,
UPDATE - 15.11.2007 :
i got the above inscribed onto my body on oct 11. i entered the tattoo center with 3 variations of the above design and after close to 10 minutes of re-sketching and some iterations later i finalised what was going to be put. For the next 30 odd minutes all i felt was 100’s of needles going in and out of my skin every second. It was painful but not like i had imagined (read as ‘not that painful’) but definitely irritating. And in all my attempts to flow the whole process, i would get disoriented by the vibrating needle and had to face straight for the most of the time.
It is done !
After a through checkup of what was on me, i asked for edges to be more sharp and pronounced. The tattoo artist sharpened and made the edges as asked. And after 5 separate requests for the each of the edges, i was convinced the work was done.
Yup thats done.
With this one on me, i have got more craving to get the intended to be ‘first’ tattoo on. But i do not know how long i will have to wait to get it on.
After one of my previous posts where i reposted a original, i was in a frame of mind where i would avoid having to repost topics or link back to original posts again. But with posts like the one i am talking about below, i just cant pass off the chance to have these contents in my blog. So here it is.
Every time i am done with any one of sample works i tend to compare it with what i have seen till now and critique the work with respect to them and as always i end up not being overly happy with my work. But i have come to accept it, and that it takes time and patience to reach a particular level of professionalism.
As usual i was going through the list of rss feeds i have subscribed to, and saw the below post at smashing magazine. I just got another 100 odd design works and their creator, that now i can compare my work with and judge the place i stand in. Before i link to the original post, here are a few images i lifted from the site.

Hi was returning back home from work and found this poster.
I was not able to make it to “Studio 51″ as i slept off. But I doubt it would have been any different in comparison to my previous visits I have made to the mentioned club.
