Blue Peony Irezumi

Description

Bold blue peony rendered in a Japanese/irezumi style, with a gold-yellow center and swirling cloud/wave background. The peony traditionally represents prosperity, honor and bravery; the uncommon blue tone emphasizes rarity, calm, and individuality. Strong outlines and layered shading make it ideal for a forearm piece that reads well from a distance and can be extended into a sleeve.
