I just have a tribal armband for now. I got it back in 1993, before it was the "cool thing" to do. I want to do some kind of half sleeve, but i'm not an artist. I have ideas of what I want, but I just need to find someone who can design what I want. Most tatt artists charge alot of money to draw out ideas. So I want to find someone to do it for me, then I can take it in to get inked.

 

I've got two... a teensy lil yellow daisy on my left ankle that I've had for years... and a pretty good sized black tribal piece on my lower back/upper butt that I've had for almost a year. That one will be added to soon -- I've got a design I like, but want to customize to blend with the piece I've got (and to make it "mine.") It's tribal, but it's not the solid black -- it's the metallic look, with a large lotus in the center... should be gorgeous when it's done, and will cover my lower back.

 

My wife has 3 and I got 4, one on the outside of my right leg about 4�x 5�, one on my stomach THAT ONE HURT it’s about 10�X10�, one on my left forearm about 3�x10�, and one on my right arm/shoulder about 3�x4�.

 

I have five:

Tribal band around right bicep
Son's name in old english letters on bottom of right forearm
Name in chinesse on left bicep
chinesse symbol for Eternity on right ankle(wife has someone in same place)
Tattered american flag with In Memory of FDNY 9-11-01 in a circle around it.

 

There is one reason I will NEVER get a tat.... my buddy has the band logo Poison on his back and he gets soooo much ****. I am not against them, I just know its forever unless you got a nice bank account.

 

Got one on my left arm. It is a tribal symbol. I am trying to design something for my right shoulder down to my elbow (like a half sleeve).....Some sort of tribal flames. Got the itch.

 

here is my work in progress

Heres a side 1/2 of the semi sleave. I look retarded, and was trying to push up my muscles since... Im asian and dont got guns, i got bullets lol.


It says
elbow to wrist..
Peace, happiness, love, family..

left arm will come soon, and its gonna say in the same style.
Hate, anger, evil, fury.


it stands for the hate, anger, evil, and fury is what I left behind. And the peace, leads to happiness, which leads to love, which all ='s up to family, since they will be there forever. And family will always overcome the hate, the anger, the evil, the fury.

sentimental.

 

Got 6....Tiger sitting in a tribal circle, Tiger on chest, daughter name right shoulder, heart on right chest, cross on lower leg, and nick name on left arm.....It can be addictive. I want another too!

 

I agree it is addictive. I got one and said I wil never get more. Have five and want one more.....
