Description The tiger climbs,
with great determination
representing
the year of my birth.

The Oni stands proud,
the first of four.
Devils don't just favor
the wicked.

The jester sports
her hood of purple;
an executioner
of sorts.

The crescent moon
helps slow her judgment.
For there have already been
too many casualties,
of war.   

The joker reminds me,
not to take life too seriously.
After all,
it is already
too short.

The ram etched
into the sun
tells the world
I am an Aries.

Born of fire,
I soar with the cardinal;
diamonds reflected
in my eyes.

The ink that flows
across my skin
represents

my life.

Oh, I don't have the chops for that.
Real editors would gasp at the errors I make.

You're welcome.

Thank you. I really love Japanese art, but I do have a taste for the urban style as well. I figure I’ll just keep mixing it up until I run out of canvas. Man, what a sad day that will be
