My tattoo artist finished drawing up my next piece. Owls, peonies, and pipes, all favourite things of mine. I am very excited.

LOL lonestar. Bob referenced the Tootsie-Pop commercial at the end of his article, The Mystery of Balkan Blends.
Cool tat marmal4de!

The ears of your owl are a little too mammalian. You might see if the artist would change that if it is important to you.
Bubba I am doing it in neo-traditional colours, bright greens, purples, and oranges will be blended for the feathers, the peonies will be pink and blue (probably). As for timeline, I have an appt for the outline in a few weeks, I hope to do it in 3 sessions 6-8 hours total.
Briar Bully That pipe is awesome! Does it smoke well?
antipodesman I love the ears, I actually had him emulate this picture loosely.
Thanks for the compliments everyone!
It's going to be a half-wrap on my right calf most of the open space around the owl and peonies is going to get some gnarly colourful filler stuff to even it out and make it easy to finish the whole wrap.
A spot opened up this coming Sunday at noon, I could only get 2 hours though, so I'll get the linework and maybe a little colour in there.
You and me both! I was really hoping to do it in two 4 hour sessions, but beggars can't be choosers.
