Steady progress has continued now that I've recovered
The interior of the body sections will be completed in a few weeks
.
Having a hard time getting a photo that captures the straightness of the body sections, since the upper four sections are healing and slightly scabbed they don't bend perfectly with the skin. One thing I need to work on is taking better photos of my work

A hand rests on an Allen Ginsberg anthology with a red cover. The focus of the image is a simple tattoo of a centipede going from just under the thumbnail of its owner to just above the wrist
The centipede is made of simple lines and has a stinger at its end. It's style is roughly inspired by Moche art. The body sections are rounded squares and the legs are simple lines with a bend. The centipede has two front legs pointing towards the thumbnail and two curved pincers in between

Two additional body sections and several additional legs added (outline of a total of four body sections has been completed).
.
Intentionally stretching this transformative piece out over several days, coinciding with personal work, ceremony, and prayer.
.
There will be 7 body sections in all, and each will eventually house contents according to its individual significance.

A thumb holding a book. The book has a robed figure by a moon and a pentagram on its cover. The author credit is visible and reads "by Manly P. Hall". The tattoo on the thumb is of a centipede with four rounded square body sections, front legs & pincers. In front of the pincers are three dots in a triangle.

The first two segments: freehand hand-poked centipede.
.
Liminal creatures, centipedes represent a connection with the divine, among other things.
.
In my case, segments and embellishments have been earned according to specific spiritual and tangible achievements. I'll be adding more today.
All in preparation for a healing ceremony for a dear friend, soon.

Realizing that Green Soap is castille soap with alcohol (30% before dilution) and lavender oil

You could make that (safely), and improve on it by adding witch hazel, creosote tincture, or clove oil(?) perhaps, as astringents and/or analgesics, or other safe compounds to produce a desired effect (and removing the lavender or leaving it depending on how overwhelming the end result would be)

Sharing that my other book came despite the fact I've posted and been on here entirely too much lately

Triskelion with La Tène Celtic ornamentation and a fine knotwork band. A devotional piece for three beloved gods. A joy to work on this piece - thank you for trusting me and for traveling all the way out to California to be tattooed. 🖤

A man’s arm with a large black and gray tattoo of a Triskelion inside a circle, decorated with Celtic patterns, attached to a band of knotwork encircling the arm, rendered in fine lines and dot work.

Three close up views of the same tattoo showing the central disk and Triskelion, and two views of the knotwork band.

Tattoo flash #wip, getting the hang of these pens.

Photo of a raven wing tattoo wrapping around the shoulder, in blue and black

Photo of a large back tattoo in the shape of a knotwork tree which shades from brown at the roots, to green at the center, to blue in the branches. Rows of runes snake along its length and icons of the nine Norse worlds are held among its roots and branches.

Photo of a triskelion tattoo, with a triple spiral in red shading to black at the outer edges, joined to a black outer ring. Small black wings decorate the spaces between the three spirals.

Photo of a tattoo which centers a pomegranate split open showing the shiny red seeds. A snake coils around it with a gray and black patterned body and white underbelly.

Devotional tattoo for the goddess of battle, done in a graphic blackwork style with pops of blood red. So much fun to ink this piece!
Made with joy at Ritual Tattoo in Berkeley.
