Half-sleeve after first sitting

My half-sleeve after the first sitting. It's being done without any black ink. At the top is a nautilus shell, which pours out water (hardly filled in yet) that becomes a de-constructed geometric design (based on a Japanese kimono pattern). Around the nautilus shell are the first eight numbers in the Fibonacci sequence: 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number). This represents the perceived chaos in nature that is really a careful pattern, often indiscernible without careful observation. Art by Bones at Fallen Angel Tattoo, Citrus Heights, CA.
