It is 7 1/2" wide, 5 1/2" Tall
Took a little over 2 hours, and had one 5 minute break inbetween outline and shading.

Looks okay, but, eh, a butterfly? You could've gone for something a bit more original. :P

Sortof... I picked it because it can represent Fragile and Strong at the same time.
And in a sence, it's always watching my back.

I like it, nice to see something other then the all too common tribal style designs on the small of the back.

Better late than never...

Very original design, highly competent execution, and superb placement.
Congratualtions! :D

Overall, I give it an 8.9 out of 10.
Understand, of course, I have yet to see the tattoo that would earn a 10 in my book, and I've seen a whole hell of a lot of them. :wink:

I'm not a big fan of tattooing but that is very well done, and well-chosen.

Exactly!! I like it so much, I wish I had thought about it ;)
Nobody is ever strong all the time and nobody should be delicate all the time either, it makes such sense, and I love tattoos with hidden meanings ;)

Barring my general distaste for tattoos and the fact that tiger noses aren't pink, I rather like it.
'Next time I let Superman take charge, just hit me. Real hard.'
'You're a princess from a society of immortal warriors. I'm a rich kid with issues. Lots of issues.'
'No. No dating for the Batman. It might cut into your brooding time.'
'Tactically we have multiple objectives. So we need to split into teams.'-'Dibs on the Amazon!'
'Hey, we both have a Martian's phone number on our speed dial. I think I deserve the benefit of the doubt.'
'You know, for a guy with like 50 different kinds of vision, you sure are blind.'

It's supposed to be a feminine tiger. It's on a butterfly.
