Warning - NSFW! This is a picture of my neck-to-knees backpiece. Almost 60 hours of fun over the course of nearly two years.

That is some sick work right there. I have a koi and a dove done in a Japanese(ish) style. The artist calls it Kapanese. Name is Kap. I really want to get my left half sleeve going but I have to wait until he gets back from oversees. He's in the army. I may head out to Germany to visit him when he gets back from Afghanistan.
I should have my chest piece going before too long here. But that's gonna be more new school traditional. Gonna go to O'Reilly's in SC to get it done.

Here's my back tattoo, did it myself using mirrors and dirty needles.
That's about 9 hours of ink.
Has a lot of meaning to it (German iron eagle holding the original Croatian coat of arms. I'm a Croat who was born and raised in Germany, I def owe my life to Germany)

People kept asking me "WHAT IF YOU FARTED?" My answer was that there is no way to relax enough to fart if you're getting your rear end tattooed. Not possible.

I already know. Just trying to decide between Klem and Jason right now.
Always wanted something from Klem so I might go that way.
It's a memorial piece. Basically some roses and a monarch butterfly over my heart (left peck) with a banner that says "never forget" and some filler. And on my right peck a praying angel with a banner that says "always remember."
Basically... my birth mom was killed when I was 10. The roses and butterfly were her favorites. And my adopted mom was I think kind of a prayer warrior and a guardian angle for me when they took me in at 15. She used to always tell me "remember who you are" every time I left the house to go out. I might have got in trouble but I never betrayed who I was... no drugs. Etc.
I've got quite a few pieces floating through my head but that one has been on lockdown for years. Been saving change to get it done. haaa. Only way I can justify the expense right now.
I want to get a caddy piece when my caddy is back on the road. I want to get one for my daughter... have some cool ideas up my sleeve for that. And I want to get my half sleeve on my left arm done... it's the finisher to a visual trinity that I started about 13 years ago in my buddies kitchen. ahaaa.
Have jesus on my back, the holy spirit on my right arm and will have a visual of the father (creator) on my left. Been trying to iron out a creation scene for YEARS. haaaa.
I really want to do like an Oak tree or a giant Maple from up above. Wind bars with floating leaves. With like a mountain seen under it... Hard to work out the point of view.
