Edit- Messed with the tattoos, added more colors and textures.

Finished in under six hours... I think I might be getting faster!

I deleted Gimp after a few hours of having it on my computer and found a Photoshop Elements trial I hadn't gone through. Hopefully it will last me until my birthday

And, as anyone who has used PSE will tell you, it has a problem with "unexpectedly closing". My flash drive is filled to where I have to delete a picture to save a newer version of it. I was working on a picture last night, it said it was going to delete and save, I said OK, it deleted it, then "unexpectedly closed" before re-saving it. And it was nearly done, too. And it took my Hawk totem design, too.

So, I spent my first art period looking for a reference, quote, and tattoo inspirations, worked on this during my teachers aid period, and some during Yearbook. And then I came home and finished (though I will probably end up editing it some) it.

The quote is from John Keats, my favorite poet and the guy I'm doing my huge Literary Research paper on, and it says "Philosophy will clip the wings of an Angel," from Lamia.

The entire quote:
Do not all charms fly at the mere touch of cold philosophy? There was an awful rainbow once in heaven: we know her woof, her texture; she is given in the dull catalogue of common things. Philosophy will clip an angel's wings, conquer all mysteries by rule and line, empty the haunted air, and gnome mine unweave a rainbow
