After designing and redesigning a new tat idea and living with the final design for 2 months, I've got an appointment for some new ink on Monday and can't wait!!!



Born in 1970 (Year of the Dog) and time of the year (September) makes my elemental "Metal" so the dog is going to be done to look metalic. Chinese writing from top left means "Loyalty", "Honestly" and "Determination"...the 3 strongest traits of Metal Dogs (had 3 chinese friends that don't know each other confirm that's what they say). Lotus flowers represent resiliance since they start out under water in mud and muck. It isn't until it breaks the surface that it starts to bloom. They'll be some shading around the objects to make it look "pressed in". Going on the inside of my left forearm.

Artwork looks pretty good. Surprised, though, that you have three chinese friends who can all read chinese fluently, all in different circles! :)
(Yeah, I tend to focus on the insignificant parts of stories.)

Cool idea! I'm currently saving for my next piece, which will be the start of a sleeve. I really like the symbolism in your piece. Makes it much more interesting to talk about as opposed to some schmoe who just picked it off the wall cuz it looked cool.

That's killer.

I have yet to pull the trigger. Virgin skin here bitches.

When I do I will have my kid design it. She's been showing some interest in the art.

Make sure you post up the finished product. Unless it's on your ass or scrotum, then have fun with that.
