Creating Art

These are the dragonballs used to summon Shenron

I handed these over to the tattooist and told hiw where i wanted it and what I wanted it to look like, he then printed the first picture and adapted it to make it into a better tatto for where it was positioned (my back)
Three and a half hours later the first part was over, here is the result.
