Recent catch-up from an old piece

I have not had a whole lot of work lately, despite my waiting at the shop. I haven't had the best luck in picking times to do this second job lately. But oh well!

I was able this last week to complete the "strength" kanji started ever so long ago. In fact, this was one of the first ever tattoos by me. It was left outlined for some time. Finally, I was able to meet up again with this guy and finish it. He allowed me to come up with the designs in the middle of the symbol. It's freehand work, and I like it. He loves it. He requested the sword, while the rest came from different inspiring ideas he talked about as we went on. The skulls were a must and the floating dismembered eye were just cool.
