Scott’s Buddha & Temple Tattoo

Scott is just back from India where he’s been studying yoga.

His tattoo is of Buddha. It’s a mixture of Japanese style and portrait work with negative floral designs.

There’s a tiny little temple on back of his arm.

On his shoulder are cherry blossoms and an unopened lotus flower. The mixture of black water and clear water is a bit yin yang.
