The wave is a stylised version of a bit of Katsushika Hokusai’s masterpiece ‘Under a Wave off Kanagawa’
\nFrom Wikipedia<\/a>–
\nThe Great Wave off Kanagawa – Kanagawa Oki Nami Ura?, lit. “Under a Wave off Kanagawa”), also known as The Great Wave or simply The Wave, is a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Hokusai. It is the first in Hokusai’s series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanj\u016brokkei), and is his most famous work. This particular woodblock is one of the most recognized works of Japanese art in the world.<\/p>\n

So… I dig the idea on this tattoo.
\nI also liked the client very much. A local Port Angeles girl.
\nMy daughter was actually a fairy in her wedding. (FUN)
\nI must say she didn’t enjoy getting the tattoo. Foot tattoos are a bit on the ouchy side in general so doing both at once is rarely fun.<\/p>\n

NOTES:
\n1)Making the words readable without taking much from the wave was a good call.
\nIf they had popped I think it would have ruined the overall look, but if I had made them smaller of blended them more it would have taken away any power of statement.
\n2)I used a bit more vivid blues and simplified a tad compared to the actual artwork because feet tattoos really take a beating over time and the girl is young. The enhancement will allow longevity that otherwise wouldn’t exist.<\/p>\n
