What's your favorite tattoo on your body?

[Avery Taylor]

Thanks. Yeah the top of my arm is a rock of ages with an octopus doing some damage. I don't have any photos of it, but it was also done by Matt Arriola. I think that it maybe on his Myspace or Facebook page.

[Gia Dobson]

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

[gougetheeyes]

That's great! I wonder if that's why Lochlan's angel is crying...

Good morning Patrick, good to see you back and active as you seemed silent for a little while.....it is a visual thing and many of my tattoos that have eyes are bleeding red.

[gougetheeyes]

Hahaa hey, kidding dude. Don't all tattoos make angels cry anyway?

[Wedge]

Tough choice but I'll go with my Elvgren pinup tattoo done by Shane O'Neill. Sorry, the pics were taken while top half still unhealed.

But I also love my eagle:

[Tight-Lines]

That is a glorious eagle.

I think every man/woman should have a giant eagle either looking as awesome as that, or have it attacking something like a giant squid or a Megalodon.

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?

[Lochlan]

A bear standing could fit there probably with the scenery continued in the background??? I've commented elsewhere on this tattoo but will say it again, i like it! Who did this?

Here's a thread on tattoos you can never see enough of.

It was done by "Angel" at Hartford County Tattoo, CT.

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...

[Petri Aspvik]

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

[dari]

I love this, thanks for sharing it with the story.

[MrJefferyPage]

I honestly would have a toss up between my whole torso... Chris Conn (Pirate Girl with severed head - Back andGirl Head,Wings,Banner with latin and Roses - Chest), Scott Sylvia (DOD Bride - Left Rib Cage), Jeff Rassier (Grim Reaper - Right Rib Cage) and Small Paul Stottler (Hanya and Dragon - Stomach)... Cheers

[Scott Sylvia]

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'

[max thomas]

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.

[gougetheeyes]

Max, would love to hear the ideas behind these.

[RockelMan]

Hi everyone. Well like most here have said about their tattoos, I don't really have a favorite one I like them all equally for different reasons here's 2 pics
