New drawing

I just finished the linework for a new tattoo idea. I still need to color it and put the patterns in the kimono, but I’m jazzed about getting the basics of the composition settled. I did a lot of research before putting pencil to paper and was happy to create something semi-traditional, yet essentially original (I didn’t copy any one piece). It’s a samurai wrestling with a demon, about to shove a dagger up through his chin. For me, it symbolizes my recent struggles with medical issues and my determination to persevere and overcome. I’m considering it as my next tattoo. It would go on my right forearm to completely sleeve out my right arm and would continue the water theme that’s already on my upper arm and shoulder. My only hesitation is that I like it so much, I’m tempted to make it a big backpiece instead.

Decisions, decisions!
