My inkslinger is also in recovery. He used to ink full-time around the Phoenix area, especially at biker events, but only does it on the side for friends now.

First ink...


Second ink (one feather for each daughter)...


Third ink (Legs is the nickname my riding buddies gave me)...

Nice ink you got there! I have a few that I'l load up here latter.

Well these aren't the greatest pictures of them but you get the point.

This is the sign of the hammer, a spin off of Thor's hammer used by favorite band Manowar. This was taken when it was brand new about 2 1/2 years ago.


My dragon.


And my skull.


Also have a wolf on my shoulder but couldn't get a good enough picture of it. So 4 tatts in all, another 40+ to go!

Hmmm, Can anyone tell me how to attach a pic in the post - lol then I can put up a pic of my recovery tatt.

[Gertiegirl]

Nope, thought I figured it out but hadnt... lol

K - figured it out! Click on the thumbnail for bigger pic, and more detail. I got this Tatt In January this year, after being sober 6 months. Ive since relapsed, but this tattoo giving me the strength to get back on the wagon. Im a Christian, the cross represents Christ, the tricuetra centered in the cross represents the Holy Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) The light at the top is for John 8:12 (I am the light of the world whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life) one side of the wings represents Psalm 124:7 (We have escaped like a bird out of the fowlers snare, the snare has been broken and we have escaped) the other side of the wings is Isiah 40:31 (but those who hope in the Lord will renew thier strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint) and the bottom it says Gal 5, Galations 5:1 (It is for freedom that Christ has set you free, stand firm therefore, and do not let yourself be bound again by a yoke of slavery).

When I manage to get another 6 months under my belt, Im going to add a daisy chain on either side of the cross, going down to my ankle and up to the back of my knee to represent Christ breakin the "chain" of addiction and bondage.

LOL - now Ive shared the pic and given ya a scripture lesson too! I promise that Im not usually such a bible basher, but to know all the components shows the incredible talent of the tattoo artist! I had a vauge picture in my head from something I found on the internet - but he did the rest and added the shading and colour. I love it.

forgiventatu - i live in japan now but i lived in florida for 17 years. tallahassee, jacksonville, orlando, boynton beach, and the last place was sarasota.

I have a half sleeve i will post later. It will be a full sleeve next month. It would happen sooner but tattoos are mega expensive out here.

[TTOSBT]

I got my first tattoo on my 40th birthday. I was a little over 2 months sober. It is a Tree of Life to represent my new life & my new focus on my emotional and spiritual growth.




*Yikes, sorry they are so big!!!
