The origin of the phrase seems to be dating from the Roman empire, so it's not some marines or modern military saying.

3.5 hours put in today by Tim and I. We covered a  lot of ground, outlining my entire arm. the ditch of my arm wasn't awesome. Unfortunately for me theres an oni head right there so its going to seeing a lot more abuse.
The atmosphere at atlas is rad, theres absolutely zero ego floating around. Everyones interested in what their peers are doing. Stoked to head back next week.

My first was 2 hearts and a banner with my wife (at the time) and my name in a banner. Actually pretty well done. This was in 1977. By 1979 her name was inked over. In 1980 the whole tattoo was covered with a snake and rose. In 2011 that tattoo was covered up with a big peony. I think it is now covered up enough.

Leave it as is, it looks fine, don't overanalyse it :)
Also, and maybe i'm mistaking you, but haven't you got all of your tattoos done last year?

Got my first leg tattoo by Victor J Webster @ East River Tattoo in NYC yesterday. It's his interpretation of the Bakunawa, the Philippine mythical dragon which devours the moon and causes lunar eclipses.

Finally healed. By Jersh tattoos in Dallas:

Andy Northup @ All Star Tattoo
 

Aldo is finally healed, love it :D

Wanted to post my healed tattoos, but i couldn't find a place to do so without seeming off-topic.
So, this thread is for us to show our tattoos, no matter how old they are. I just like staring at diverse tattoos :)
 
Here are some of mine. Joker is almost three months, Aldo and my cat about 1 month :3:

Just a quick follow-up, in the end I had no swelling at all and I just took off the tegaderm since the tattoo was feeling great and I wanted to be able to see it again. Seems like it's ready to peel, no scabbing and no tenderness whatsoever. This has been my easiest heal ever (including two tiny ones with just really thin linework). Definitely not what I expected, but I don't mind lol. 
Sorry for the crap pic, and the 'derm wrinkles! Tattoo is just under three days old.

And here's my tattoo done in the last day of the convention, yesterday, by Florin Orga.
My first neo traditional and i love it so much!
It's my cat who likes to bite, so we reinforced the theme :D

Video also here.

I was definitely unable to contain myself the last two months. 
-Dan Sinnes scribbled on this locust yokai at Temple. I'm so pumped on how it came together. He posted a photo of the draw on for hilarity.  
-Valerie Vargas did the Oni/Gorilla fight on my arm at the Bay convention. I liked the idea of the eastern/western imagery clashing. My right arm is all american traditional patchwork and my left is semi-american traditional style patchwork with Japanese imagery. This has already healed ridiculously well.
Henning did the namakubi at the Bay convention. I had been waiting a few years to catch Henning at the convention when he had space from his larger works and this was the year. This is absolutely one of my favorite tattoo's. My girlfriend is definitely not as pumped. I'm blown away by his skill and kindness.
