Thanks Chaloupa.

Everything on the left side of my body will be dark themed Japanese inspired stuff like the photo. We're just now in the process of covering the right arm with more happy themed stuff.(Koi, wind, water, flowers, goldfish ect...) We're about 15 hours in and have covered an original Smillin' buddha peice so well..... It's like it was never there!

Can't wait to see the pic's of your dragon peice. I love dragons and will add one somewhere in the mix at some point I'm sure.

I love the Canadian flag, very well done, it really hase a third dimension look to it.

I still have not got a single tattoo myself, I know what I want, I just need to find the right artist in Calgary that can do it.

As a side note, I was attempting to entertain myself a few days ago, and Googled "worst tattoos". Wow. My favourite (i.e. the worst) was a tattoo of a naked, traditionally-dressed Native American/Aboriginal woman clinging to a corndog. Seriously...huh?

What type of work are you looking to get done Greg? I might be able to point you in the direction of someone that shines in the type/theme that you're looking for.

Gary,

Thanks for the offer

I have been military history nut since I was a little boy, especially in aviation and dogfighting.

What I want to do is get a photo realistic style back piece, or at least portions of it to start.. on one shoulder blade I want to get a WWI dogfight scene and on the other shoulder a WWII dogfight scene..

something like this

Greg,

Scott Ford at Smilin’ Buddha is a photorealistic artist and does great detailed work.

He has done a couple of mine including this piranha / koi cross:

I would have recognized that Smilin' Buddha water anywhere! Scott Ford did one for me. I do not have any pictures of it. It is a tribal design with a dolphin jumping in a wave of Smilin' Buddha water. 1.5 hours - first tattoo - go big or go home, for sure.
