I can't say this enough because it's so true: I'm still learning! I have a long road ahead of me to improve my photography but it's always gratifying to know you stumble upon a pretty good pic every now and them. Thanks!

Also, getting a tattoo in China? Erm, seems like an incredibly bad idea and totally counter-intuitive to your intention. @Linz: That is definitely true.

Many of the asian restaurants, stores - even doctor offices!-in Houston have something like this in the decor. And typically, if you're ballsy enough to ask questions (me), there's a very good story, both historical and personal, behind many of the pieces.

Could I have a pair inked on and receive those powerful benefits? Where's a Chinese sage when you need one? I wonder if the lions’ protective powers would translate to tattoos?
