Worked on a new piece today, bit of body ink on a woman's lower back. She said she wanted a Corpse Flower, A Lotus specifically, growing through the bones of a hand, overgrown with vines. A strange request, but it turned out very well. She left me a Lotus blossom in addition to her payment. She said it would, "Bloom best in my presence", whatever that means. I planted it in a little pot by my sketching station in the parlor, hopefully it can be a muse of sorts.
