2020 - I got into houseplants.

2021 - I told myself, "If I'm still into houseplants a year from now, I'm getting a tattoo of my favorite plant."

2022 - Still into houseplants, and now also into outside plants.

2023 - Got it going in August.

2024 - My last session was just last Tuesday and I still have the Saniderm on.

There are supposed to be more leaves to the right of the tiger going towards my arm, but I'm suddenly moving out of state so it's done for now, at least with this artist.

I'm also panning to get the tiger touched up and color added.

I was gonna say the contrast between these two make it really stand out! Love it!

True, looks a bit like a stone statue with a real plant

I like that comparison a lot. The tiger is 24 years old.

Thank you. The artist is Mae Wu working out of A Thin Line Tattoo in Batavia IL. She said she wasn't super comfortable doing color but I think she did an amazing job.
