I got myself a treat while Im here in Montreal! I have always wanted a small tattoo I have fixed, but it turns out that it was too difficult. So I decided to cover it instead. This is what I decided on in the end:

Theres no way in hell I would ever get the same old fish/flower/dove etc. that everyone else has. The origonal tattoo meant "to be different" so I figure it still does.

You..are.....HARD...CORE!!!
Looks great!!
Always laugh when you can. It is cheapest medicine.
...and it keeps the ravenous, man-eating squirrels off of you.
nice job they did there
i cant see where the old one was. under the keikogi?
my tattoo (though not kendo related) is uber personal to me too.
by the way, be prepared for the inevitable smutty comments

Nicely done Alison!
Might I also compliment you on being the first smutty samuraiette to bare some skin for our viewing pleasure!
Thanks very much!

Wow, that's awesome!
I might have missed this somewhere Alison, but what did the original one look like? You should post a before pic as well. They did a nice job on the tat btw. I have a small one as well on my ring finger with the kanji for dou.
Whoooo Hooooo. I see your berry button.

Nice, nice job. I love tattoos, I need to get mine finished this fall, but right now anything left over from the paycheck goes into bogu-fund. You make me jealous!
Only downside is no bathing in conservative or holy bathhouses or springs when you visit Japan. Bummer.
Cold? Of course it's cold! The important thing is to feel!
Like monks on pilgrimage... their hands and faces are dirty, but their hearts are pure.
Maybe they'll rethink once they see the tat...
Schnok!
Very nice belly, eeeh, I mean button aaah, skin mmmmmmm, I mean tattoo.
I wonder how it will hold up when you're around the age that you should be hachi dan?
