Both Eyes Open


Daruma dolls are rad little japanese gods that you wish to. when you wish on the doll you paint in one eye. When the Daruma God grants you your wish you are supposed to paint in the other eye. Granting the Daruma his vision back. This is where the phrase "Both Eyes Open" comes from.
Theyre one of my favorite japanese things to paint/draw/tattoo

Ben Corday


one of my favorite tattooers in history is Ben Corday. I repainted one of his designs. He could draw some of the best girl heads ever. Elegant and soft mature designs. He was ahead of his time.
This is one of my favorites.
