A tattoo of ginkgo leaves and orange fruit on a branch, running across a shoulder and upper arm.

一叶观星河

The ginkgo branch is not painted on silk but tattooed, beginning on the upper back and running over the shoulder cap to the outer arm. Vinc posted it in August 2025.

By his own account it is single needle work in colour, drawn in the manner of ink painting.
