coming along NICE xdorkx. when it's done if you could explain the significance also. though it looks awesome i'm sure you're not going through all that just because it looks "cool"

LOL
Nothing wrong with doing that actually, the artist who drew the piece is amazing (East Coast guy Named Martin LaCasse), and I am intrigued with his style of art (Japanese with an American twist, or 'neo-traditional' if you will)

This is (more or less) how it'll look when done (the brown skull on the right)
We did only add one snake instead of two, so its not an exact copy, but you get the idea

naw there's def. nothing wrong with doin it just because it looks cool, but it makes it more intriguing when there's reasoning. by that i mean when people get the tats that they know nothing about it just looked in the shop. the tribal is a good example (not to offend anyone with tribals). after going to hawaii--x6, guam--x2 and saipan i realized how serious pan-islanders take the tribal and they symbolize something. but when someone that's never left say ohio, has one never studyed them--but they look cool so they get one. i find that funny. now granted people can spend their money on whatever the so please, but i think it hilarious when your response to the question of "what doesn't your tat mean?", and they say "idk, it looked really cool."

the koi fish is another great example. so many people have it, but how many got it b/c it's the current "in" thing, and look really good. don't get me wrong i love koi fish tats, but when you don't know the meaning of it....

well, my RIGHT sleeve is mostly relgious type stuff (traditonal)..i'm a christian, so yeah..the left arm i'm just going for pure beauty..........there is a snake on the pic, I was born in the (asian) year of the snake....maybe I can say that? haha

Me, I just LOVE the japanese tradianal style, and the american traditoanl style (wwii) as wll, this piece combines the both of them and i'm intriqued by it

is that the same artist that is doing the current piece?? either way they look freakin sweet, the details, coloring. you need a better photographer though, LOL. i know some of them are you, doing them yourself, but i don't think your tats are getting the max amount of props allow by pics.

Thank you, and Yeah Kirk (Bone Daddy'z in Fullerton) has done ALL of my tattoos except the two stars on my back. I will post up GREAT pics of my left sleeve once it's done. Kirk plans on taking a full roll of pics of it, so i'll get copies of those (he's taking 35mm ones and digital once it's done)
