Tamatori hime Back piece in progress

Another session down on James’ Tamatori hime back piece. Tattooed by Matt Wisdom. There are just a few heroines in Japanese mythology. That’s why we think it’s a very special motif for a Japanese tattoo in the form of a back piece. Keep checking out the Tatt Co blog for updates on James’ back over the next couple of months.
