    I would never have guessed that first shot was a tattoo, well done! I was thinking a closeup of an enameled piece!

    This in incredible! I had the extreme honor of three of my professors in college come from traditional Buddhist teachings and I think a substantial portion of how I've come to create to this day comes from the discipline in working I learned from them and their work.

    It's beautiful. Nice tattoo to mark this turning point in your life... I'm jealous we don't have such an amazing artist such as Tom here.
