What's your favorite tattoo on your body?

Was just in the process of deleting my MySpace profile which I hadn't visited since July '09 and came across this pic. I don't really have an all time favorite tattoo. They are all my favorites for one reason or another, but I do especially love this one.

Done in 2005 by Mike Giant... and yes, that is supposed to be me... trying to out-run my guardian angel... or maybe it's my bratty inner child if you believe in that sort of junk. ha ha

Thanks dcostello. That picture is a few years old so unfortunately due to sun the bold whites in the head have turned a little greyish as expected but it still looks good. I love birds of prey and this concept is supposed to be the dominant eagle in the foreground standing guard over his territory in the backgorund. I've been thinking of adding to it but not sure how or what. I could add something to the front or inside of my arm if I want. I've had people tell me to just leave it alone so I don't distract from the eagle and others have said to add a soaring eagle to it and others say add bears or an owl or something else nature related. Here's a picture of my arm from a different angle. Opinions?

Fire breathing Kodiak bear fighting a Bison. Can someone draw this up?

Picking a favorite is hard when you have but 2, and they're both recent...but I do have to go with my first, as it's a design I carried in my head for a long time, and means much to me.

Of course, I still think number 2 is pretty dang awesome as well...

Have to go with this one. Done by Sailor Andy, an old Cap Coleman stencil if I remember right? Well, anyways. It was like 22:00 in Friday night and I had a idea to get tattooed. Andy is in Helsinki and its about 500kilometers/about 310miles from here. I had originally and idea for two pieces of art done by Erik Von Bartholomaus (http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/98/l_dc1d1f35825340ff8c73913693cc98bf.jpg) and then another one which I fucking cant find right now! Cant even remember who it was by... It was like this tiger dragon with hooves on or something... But, I send them both messages and asked for permission and they said cool, go for it! I asked Andy what is up and he said that he has one cancellation for Saturday. I said cool and slept for few hours and hopped in the train. Got there, and the printer was broken... I said what I was thinking of getting and the pics was in my email. And he was like

Ehhh... Fucking tons of lines here... I would have to trace it from the screen...

He was hesitant as would anyone, so I just said the classic

Well, do you have anything you been dying to do?

So he had the Cap piece that had been hanging in his workspace for about a years or so. I said fuck yeah and he did. Bad ass shit

Cheers

Scott, I'm waiting for Raisser to add that boxing glove to the dragon so it has enough power to make all the tattoos cry blood......thugsNkiss'

This was my third tattoo. My father tattooed it on me and drew it up for me based on an idea I had. I love it very much. It's hard to choose between this one and...

This was also drawn and tattooed by my dad, Jerry Thomas, based on my own idea.

It's hard to pick between these two so I posted 'em both! Hope ya don't mind.
