In good time, my friend... after it heals. I have a terrible picture to commemorate the day, but the skin is still pink and there's big light flare off of the layer of ointment goop.

Not bad for a first go, eh?

I made sure to do my homework and asked everyone I knew... they recommended the guy by name. And the price wasn't even noticeably different--just a longer wait for an appointment once the design was final.

I thought this thread was going to be about fountain pen ink.

Me too I really like my manuscript caligraphy ink, but I do not think this is the place to discuss that.

I got my first one on July 4 1998, a cross design I came up with. This past winter I got a couple more as well as relining the first one, I have a couple more planned for the future.
When I got the first one the Artist was a guy named Hippie, his wife worked in the shop as well, she said "once you get one you'll want more", she was right.
Photo's coming soon.

I have a dragon tribal tattoo on my hip and have always liked it. I've been planning on a raven for the other hip, but bills always seem to budge ahead in line when it comes to finances. Hopefully in the next year though.

Here they are:

And:

The dragon is from the Welsh flag with some modifications (it's now smoking a pipe).
The cross I got 12 years ago, the banner below it is in latin, it says: De Omnibus Dubitaindum Est
which means "In Everything, Doubtful Be"
Kind of my way of showing how my beliefs are evolving.

I have three. A flying dragon/bat looking creature on my right hand, skull with wings clinching an 8 ball in its teeth on my right forearm, and motorcycle club colors on my left upper arm. They were all acquired in the 70's.

On my right arm I have Mjolnir, or Thor's Hammer from Norse mythology. It's religious one, and I also wear a silver hammer on my neck always. But, an unfortunate scar cuts into the tattoo.

On the other, I have something I just drew up one day. It's basically the radiation symbol, combined with the center being the cylinder of a revolver, and a round in each of the three parts around it.

I have some more lined up

HD,
I like that Thors hammer, for my next I'm thinking of a Vegvisir in the center of a Nautical compass with a Runic inscription around it to go over the Dragon on my right shoulder.
Later a Celtic style tree of life incorporating my family tree into it on my back.

Very cool idea. What would the Runes say?

 

[Doc Manhattan]

I'm with EJ, nice Mjolnir!

My buddy has the runes that Gandalf leaves as a message on Bilbo's door in The Hobbit--all in grey so it looks "charred", very nice.

Not sure yet, still working on some ideas.
Something about the elusivity of, and continual search for truth.
