Artist's Comments

I was recently painted up by Master Body Painter Nick Wolfe [link] We've been friends for years but never had the chance to collaborate before now. Nick suggested something Asian inspired and I blurted out "Yakuza tattoo!" and the idea for this theme was born!

Nick did the painting in 4 and a half hours, using Diamond FX paint.
For those who don't take the time to read my Profile info, yes I am the model in these images.
I did the face makeup and hair, inspired by traditional Japanese Geisha, and modernized. I also bought traditional Japanese hair pins, and the over kimono was made by me, originally for my XXXHolic cosplay. I love being able to re-use costume parts haha.

Photography by Brian Boling

PS: I am entirely covered in paint, no scandalous bits showing, all right?

Fantastically lovely. Love the outfit, but I must say that the Dragon's head is my favorite part of this piece. It's amazing.

Fft, I love how you can see the detail of the blossoms better in this one. The different shades and minute details of the branch is amazing too. Your make-up ties in too in such a pretty manner. ;o; <3

You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you.

*flail* such pretty detailing :D I like the cherry blossoms in the background a lot :)

Your makeup is also very lovely - I think it is a very nice blend of modern and geisha :heart:
