the Japanese refer to sakura (cherry blossoms) as a symbol of life.
After their too-short bloom, the cherry blossom falls to the ground and is scattered about by wind and rain. It is in this life cycle that their blossoms become truly anticipated and appreciated for all their beauty.
Thank you. I went in expecting it to hurt a lot and it wasn't as bad as I anticipated. :) It took me a long time to find the right person to do it for me. I didn't want to take any chances considering the size.
Looks beautiful. Well done and very feminine. I love it. Painful but worth it huh? Especially when you find a talented professional to do it right for you.
