This is my other (right) arm . . the two tigers are "standard" inks, but messed around with a bit and the bamboo & grass etc. added in by the artist (Phil) . . . of the writing - that was done later. . . the top two words (and apologies to any Chinese ladies/gentlemen if it's wrong!) say "Year of the Tiger", which is my birth-year;- the bottom one is just made up (I hope!!!) by me, and is a joining together of the symbols for Pisces and Aries, which are mine & my very best (female) friend. . . we are VERY close (but not sexual) freinds, and it seemed the right thing to have a permanent reminder!!

BTW, if the Chinese characters are wrong. . . umm, tell me (I think!)

I have four Tat's. (I was defineitly a Salty Sailor) The one I present now though was done when My Daughter was born...........I hadn't drank or anything like that..............I just wanted to do something out of the ordinary. I went to a Young man that showed me a drawing of a single strand piece of Barbed wire. I then asked him if he thought he could overlap it to make it take on a different look. He did good and My Baby is Now Sweet Sixteen.............she reguards this Tat as a reminder of her Birth. (she thinks her Dad is Very COOL)

That is one of the ones that we considered.And YES;it was
a double wire!(Like Barbed Wire) Irish

Yep..................Irish...........I began seeing Tat.s like mine about 6 years ago............then some of the ceremonial Bands ..............I guess I may have started something.....................but I grin and bear. No Biggy. It actually humbles me to see them.

Years ago a friend of my had a link chain tattoo around her ankle.
But she didn't have it done by a tattoo artist.Her cousin did it with a needle and ink.I look back on it now and realize she was pretty lucky it didn't become infected.I think because of that is why I never got a tattoo even though I like them.Both of my sisters have one on their ankles.As for me I'll take the chickens way out and use the fake ones....LOL

Oh and BTW.Great tattoos everyone.
