    i take it, if xed has done it, its by hand poking, not that horrible machine work!

    If those are scars under her black work, I’m marrying her… by force if I have to. Terrific tatt as well.

    joining the chorus: both this person’s tattoo and this person’s hind side are superlative.

    I love the black work on the right arm… the cutting scars under it give it so much texture… wonder if she still cuts?

    Funny, my eyes went straight to the gorgeous tattoo work but, yes, Alice does have a nice ass. She’s a lovely woman.

    XED is the man. He is one of the few artists I would wait years to get an appointment with (as well as TIN TIN). Awesome work.

    Wow! the juxtaposition between the line quality on the wrist and fingers and the line quality on the palm of the mudra is beautiful. Altogether breathtaking!

    Bradly: it’s the mudra from white tara’s left hand, and there is usually a lotus stem between the fingers, but I didn’t fancy having a lotus tattooed across my entire boob. It is the mudra for giving refuge.

    Everyone else: thanks! I’m glad you all like my bum.
    It was done by machine, and took 10 hours total. I dread to think how long it would have taken by hand!
    And I don’t cut any more. I wrote an experience explaining why I am blacking out the scarred arm, it’s on my page.

    Thanks again, Xed is a genius.
