I've got a Pictish boar on my right calf. I love totemic tribal imagery and Pictish animals are particularly cool (being Scottish and all).

Here are a couple of my tats. This one is in rememberance of my first tour in Iraq. My division was the first ever extended. The shield on the right is my unit's crest. There's also the map of Iraq with Baghdad where I was located.

This one is the family. My surname is King, so the lions (King of the Jungle). The male lion, me, looking to the future, my wife remembering the past, and my kids in the present.

My newest one-

The closed lotus represents the Moon (which rep. the Goddess), and the potential for clarity, understanding, and open-heartedness. I will be getting a matching tat on my right hand, with an open lotus, representing the Sun (which rep. the God) and the blossoming of clarity, understanding, and open-heartedness.

Inside left wrist, bad pic -was pretty fresh. My husband has a matching one. His pentagram is blue and his flames are yellow/orange/red.

My first tattoo, comic-style vampire bite mark.

Sitting in the chair getting worked on.

Close up on the face.

Finished.

I also have a Siamese Fighting Fish on the other arm, but I don't have any pics of that one. I'm going to have it worked in a scene eventually with other fish. That tat is 13 years old right now, first one ever when I was 18.

Yaish, that's sweet. I was thinking of a tat featuring my wife for our 10th anniversary. Then she divorced me.

I'm going to ask Tobi to work my 3 girls into my back piece somehow. Not portraiture as such, just an representation of them.

Over this past weekend my youngest daughter Abby graduated from High School. As a graduation present her and I were inked together. Same tattoo for the both of us.

I got some new work done last night, again a pin up inspired by my wife. This one is on the left thigh. Slightly different style, softer edges and not defined lines.
