Finished tattoo

Finally after a long wait, we are settled in to our new place in Victoria and I got my tattoo finished! Leigh from the Union Tattoo did an amazing job, not that it didn't hurt like hell, but it was well worth the pain. 6 hours in total invested into this piece, its beautiful and I am really happy with it!
