Actually, that would be a good idea. Most people can't read that anyway but, if you do know Japanese or Chinese, it looks really weird. As a matter of fact, the reason why I asked you is because I thought it meant 刀 "katana" at first, and I wondered why you'd have the word "sword" in your arm. Then I realised you actually meant "chikara" (strenght/force/power/capacity).

Roughly speaking, it looks as if you were like an Asian Christian with the word word "Jəzus" tattooed in your arm. If you stare long enough, you can figure it out... but it looks kinda odd.

If it is the symbol that means "strength", it does mean force and power as well...

goddamn you're a fucking tease

Ok here's the outline. This was the best I could do with self timer + phone camera.





The darker/thicker spots are just scabby, and the redness is bruising.


Oh, and dunno if you can see the faint red line around "soul", but that's a ghost line so she knows where to shade/not shade when she does the color.

Ah, now I see what you meant with the heart being old looking.

Yeah I don't really know how else to describe her style. Like pirate/punk/sailor type shit.

It actually makes me think of being on mushrooms. Something about the way the lines radiate out from the rose.

The heart was originally supposed to be plain on the inside, but there was too much blank space and it looked unbalanced. So now it looks like a valentine, heh.

Nah, there just wasn't enough room for your mother's name.

Oh, here I was thinking they spelled 'lol' wrong

The heart style reminds me of old embroidery or something like that.
