...For instance, dropping a stone in a calm pool of water will simultaneously raise waves and lower troughs between them, and this alternation of high and low points in the water will radiate outward until the movement dissipates and the pool is calm once more. Yin and yang thus are always opposite and equal qualities. Further, whenever one quality reaches its peak, it will naturally begin to transform into the opposite quality: for example, grain that reaches its full height in summer (fully yang) will produce seeds and die back in winter (fully yin) in an endless cycle...I realized that I had not posted any pictures of my tattoo to the family blog, the tattoo that complements Joel's dragon, my phoenix. People keep asking me, "what's up with all the new tattoos?" Well, I've been wanting a tattoo for a LONG time now and my gift from Ricki got me going on the first one. Then, Joel recently won some money on some scratch tickets that I bought him and he decided that he wanted us to get tattoos with the winnings. Anyway, I went in and got my phoenix done last Saturday. Jacob did a great job!
Stencil on...
Jacob getting started, took over 3 hours to complete.
Don't worry, he's working on the few red spots in the tattoo, that is ink, not blood. And yes, I am smiling. It hurts a little bit but not so much that I couldn't smile, laugh and joke.
Started the shading...
All done!
AND just because I think Joel was worried that I now had two tattoos to his one tattoo, he decided to get a second one from Jason while Jacob was working on mine. Turns out, it was a pretty sweet gesture on his part. You see, about 14 years ago I gave Joel this little love note and instead of signing my name I quickly drew this stick figure with curly hair...
He has held onto that card and asked Jason to put the little curly haired stick figure on his arm. I say it's a little bit crazy but sweet and super cute none-the-less.
