I have 7 and they're all pretty big. The pics aren't the best, hard to take a pic of your own right arm with a cell phone. I also have a huge sacred heart on my back as a memorial for my sister (murdered in Akron Ohio, 1991).

Memorial for one of my best friends, shot himself after 2 years of war in Iraq.

Celtic Maltese, for my Irish and German heritage. Crossed wrenches and spark plug with storm clouds, I've always worked on my own stuff and sometimes it gets dangerous lol

Hard to shoot this one. It's a take on the sacred heart, the motor being the heart, chain around it being the thorns, pipes burning the eternal flame. It's also a cover up.

Lady luck, not a great piece, different artist than the rest. Not my fave.

Work in progress, the chest hurts like hell so I don't like doing more than a few hours at a time. Tail extends halfway down my stomach. Banner says 'officium ut insurgo'. Latin for 'rebellion is my duty'.

That's it so far.

It would be naive for anyone to believe that we have moved past racism. It is alive and well, in all forms, on all sides.

That's a sweet tat man! I have a lot of Cherokee in me and have been thinking of getting something that celebrates my Native American heritage.

goat im cherokee as well. i cant wait to finish the piece. some day it will end about mid way down my forearm and depict an old medicine man trying to shoot the moon out of the sky. there will be alot of story telling starting from there to tie into the war hatchets.

the bear- courage and family. the grizzly protects its own at all costs. hard work.

the wolf- un afraid to be alone. natural born leader. courage. cunning. invisible.

the tri arrow dream catcher- drawn by me. father, son, and holy spirit tied in as peace

the war hatchets- unafraid of conflict. willing to fight. refuses to back down.

tree trunk- strength. unwavering. standing tall.

Neck, face, hands, eyes nose, arms etc. I have yet to ask but often wonder, what is their major and where do they plan on working? Would I be out of touch to think many employers would frown on a visible tat or nose/eyebrow pierce?

Have any of you had employment problems or does your ink prevent you from applying for certain positions?

Thanks

why would you think there is a problem ?

Things are changing rookie, those people will go on to their chosen fields, succeed and eventually interview prispective employees with ink and think nothing of it. A good friend of mine is a bank executive and has full sleeves.

Only one so far. After giving a buddy a hard time about his Lynrd Skynrd (made up of little bones) tattoo. A few years later I get the logo from Sammy Hagar's tequila on my left bicep. Still thinking I need a few more. Always wanted one to mark my military service. Mas Tequila yall
