Updated 4/9/2009: Robin has added a pair of lovely ravens to her piece. She says, " I chose to have two ravens added to my tree and I think they are the perfect addition. They represent Odin's two ravens, Hugin and Munin. I will eventually have some leaves added to complete the piece, but it's sure nice to take a break from work on the ribs."

Updated 11/28/2008: Robin has gotten her work colored in, and it's gorgeous! She says "I got it colored in last week and I'm quite pleased with it. Hopefully it will get some leaves added and maybe a creature or two at my next appointment. (My ribs will be glad when this one is finished!)"

Original text:

A lovely black and white submission from reader Robin Blood, who says, "I'm attaching my Tree of Life tattoo I got a couple of months ago on my ribs. It will be colored in next month, but for now it's black and gray. To me, the Tree of Life means growth and the ever-changing life-cycle."

Robin, be sure to send another pic after it's colored in!
