Tattoo

Pictures of my tattoo, step one and step two. Step three will be lining the backround of the sleeve (Wind lines make up most of it, cherry blossom cluster is going on my bicep.) and Step four will be coloring in all the rest of that shit. So hopefully two more sittings to go. Also, the demon's bag (yeah, that's a bag on his back) needs to be shaded as well.

from Wikipedia: 

Fūjin is the Japanese god of the wind and one of the eldest Shinto gods. He was present at the creation of the world and when he first let the winds out of his bag, they cleared the morning mists and filled the Gate between heaven and earth so the sun shone.

A legend of Chinese Buddhism states that Fūjin and Raijin, the god of thunder, were both originally evil demons who opposed Buddha. They were captured in battle with Buddha's army of heaven, and have worked as gods since then
