Tattooed Again - W00t W00t!

I was feeling a little imbalanced because of a certain something that transpired in my life over the past few weeks, and decided to symbolically bring balance back to my life by getting a second tattoo, once again from Jen over at Body Graphics. It's the same size as the one I got a few weeks ago and is placed directly across my body from that one on my right shoulder. Here it is:


It looks a little skewed because of the posture I had to adopt to take the picture; I assure you that Jen did a fantastic job and that it's actually quite symmetrical.

Edit: It's a Japanese mitsu Tomoe symbol (representing the earth, sky, and humankind) surrounded by a sun.

Now I've already got my next 3 tattoos planned. I still want the dragon in the shape of an "S" on my right forearm (but I want it to have lizard's legs to look like it's crawling down my arm), and I also want the word "Balance" (in Kanji) on my left shoulder above the dragon yin-yang and the word "Harmony" (also in Kanji, obv) over the Tomoe on my right shoulder.

I'll probably hold off for a while at this point, maybe I'll get the forearm tattoo for myself as a birthday present this summer.
