i just spoke to dan at lotus tattoo, who is designing my big back piece. he wants me to come in on saturday to look at the design. if i approve it we can get started the following week. at this stage it looks like it will be 3 x 3 hour sessions, each 2 weeks apart.
this will be the first tattoo i've had that's had to be done in more than one session, so that will be interesting.

i am so excited!
