    I looked at his work. He does some of the most beautiful gray work I have ever seen. If you decide to get marked, he 'da man!

    Unless of course you can afford a trip over here & make an appointment with Bradley

    Thank your for the kind words. But, that guy has me whooped.

    I have no problem admitting that.

    Well, I can't really compete with the prior pictures, but I have to join in anyway.

    This picture is not very close up, but here's one of my two tats. I need to get it freshened up-very blurry around the edges after 15 years. It's the Ethic Dog Tag symbol (a free dog tag company, that I believe is no longer in business). The butterfly has a dog, cat, some birds and and an orca worked into the design.



    Be well,

    Well, this olde geezer has a few too. Don't have good shots since my gallery isn't for tattoos and we can't upload anymore. So use your imagination.



    My full back sea turtle...a lot of hours in that one.



    Chest is a Scottish heart surrounded by 12 arrowheads.

    Think I've posted some of the other tats. Bottom line, they all have strong spiritual (not religious) meaning for me and honor parts of my life experience.

    I too am a slave to the needle and can well understand giving my artist $50 and saying "Do something."

    Always thought there was a market to use tattoo needles on folks without the ink...just to activate the endorphins or whatever it is that makes the tattooing process feel sooooo good....except the sternum of course...

    If you can ever get a sharp closeup that would be impressive to see.

    Like Riverkilt, my ink commorates milestones and personally meaningful events.

    I currently have three. The first is a butterfly on my left pectoral which matches one on my wifes's back. My second tat is the pair of Yin/Yang crows on my calf.



    Third tattoo is to commemorate the life of my neice who was killed a year ago January in an auto accident. It is an example of her artwork. (you can also see a bit of the butterfly, too)
