i already had the raven on my shoulder, done by vivyn lazonga about 13 years ago. The koi is the first part of a larger piece, inspired by the firefighters of the Edo period of Japan. I now am having a dragon done that starts as a chestpiece and goes over my shoulder and down to my left wrist, by the same artist.
I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine
Destroy the man who lacks a strong mind
Human pride sings a vengeful song,
Inspired by the times you've been walked on
I got my lip ring about 5 years ago, before all the little hipsters started getting it done. I thought it was something really different, I had never seen it on the side before, now every other person has it done (which drives me crazy). But, I still love it. It looks better on me than most other people anyway. ; )
Tattoo is a cover-up of the chinese symbol for "warrior spirit". You can see the old tattoo still in the forehead of the face. Tattoo was done freehand.
My name is Candace. I got this tattoo, Dec. of 2006. This picture was taken by the artist in the studio right after it was finshed. (hence the blood) It wasn't exactly what I pictured, but I'm happy with it. Tim at tsunami's is great!
This tattoo was done by a man named D.. He's the best artist I've ever seen. He pretty much took this tattoo directly out of my head. I told what I wanted and he drew it up. He has also done very nice work for my husband. I love my tattoo, do you?
Just got these adorable buggers on my lower leg yesterday! The one emerging from the shell is on the outside of my left ankle and the swimming one is on the front/side of the same leg. This is my second tattoo and my second time at House of Tattoo. Andre really helped me as I was so inexperienced at what I exactly wanted. It turned out awesome!!!
Hey! My name is Lisa and I got my fairy tattoo on my lower leg 3 years ago. Unfortunately the tattoo place I got it done is no longer there. I wish I knew the name of the guy who did it so I can find him to do my other tattoo!
The picture isn't the best....my jeans left marks on my leg.
I had this done over a period of a couple months. It is my pride and joy. However the artist that did the work passed away. I am looking for a new artist that can give me the same quality of ink I already have.
Hey. im will and im 18...i live in tacoma and love the ink..i love to hear the sound and the feeling of the needle when it first hits the flesh..i have 4 tattoos...one tribal dragon on both inner arms...one tribal skull on my chest and one irish mafia on my right arm
I got this tattoo because when my dad passed on, he was in the process of getting an eagle tattoo. He meant a lot to me, and for only having known him for 4 years of my life, I'm glad I can take this to the grave with me. It was a painful experience, worse than my shoulder, but I'd do it all over again for the lasting memories it has.
I'm Mizz K....I got these tats a few years ago I love my hawaiian flower on my Rt. arm...it is blue, and lavender with highlights...Lo it! I have roses with a tribal bottom outlined in red on my chest. What you think? Give an honest opinion. Just want insight on what my next piece might be...I already have eleven tatoos!
Take it easy

I've been a juggalo since i was 14 yrs. old and finally got a hatchetman at Dragon's lair in Lakewood. Daren was my artist for it, he came up with the shading idea on it, he did an awesome job on it. i got it on my upper left-arm. Has a black outline with red and some black shading.
I'm Sha and I got my chest tattoos about two years ago. The rays (or "OChaeu") are my family's "Elid" (or "Aumakua" for those who have an understanding of Hawaiian culture), better known as clan totems. To bring harm to our Ochaeu is to bring harm unto yourself and your family. This is a modern variation of our clan's body art.
My tattoo is 2 fairies to symbolize the two major obstacles in life that I have overcome. Cancer and Sarcoid. It symbolizes all of the good and the bad that I went through.
