Description
My working title for this piece was Bushido (Japanese for, ‘Way of the Warrior‘). it’s a code the samurai lived by, emphasizing loyalty, honor, duty and self-sacrifice. Obviously having tattooed myself with the image of a samurai, this code means a great deal to me. But as for the reason I chose to go with a different title, once I sat down to look at the results of the shoot, I noticed the eyes had a fieriness to them caused by the light reflecting off the blade. I really liked the effect and instantly two words came to mind, passion and determination. And then the new title… I hope you like it!

This is an awesome pic 
!Btw your tattoo is amazing (even if it is unfinished as you said)!!!!.Its too bad the actual samurais didn't realy follow theyr own code :/.
In any case Bushido is defenatly an hornorable code to leave by and in this days its harder than ever to follow even the most basic of its principles.
