Show Us Ya Tattoos!

[RubyRS4]

If Matt at Tattoo You Emporium can fit me in, I get this additional work done on the weekend ... subject to free hand and some possible alterations.

The tattoo represents the broken shoulder I suffered earlier this year. The pattern just under the elbow will follow the same "bandage" pattern the existing tatt has for fill. The rest of the new ink work will be solid black and represent the "breaks" I obtained in my bike crash resulting in a broken shoulder.

Drawing up what to add on to right arm/shoulder later this weekend.

The Dragon plays the role of a magician while the Snake becomes the mystic.

Horse is the representative of masculinity where as Goat is the symbol of femininity.

The Monkey has speed and skill while the Rooster has expressiveness and flair.

The Dog is the protector and the Pig is the furnisher to make the home comfortable.

Its called "divorce" and having the freedom to do what you want without some nagging bitch saying "I don't like it!"
