This thigh piece was influenced by the early 30's Bendix Trophy, an air race trophy in the art deco style. If you know the actual design of the trophy, you'll notice this is like "if the trophy came alive". The head shot is Jackie Cochran, famous female aviator. This was my first tattoo and it was done over 4 day-long sessions. Done by Chris Dingwell, Sanctuary Tattoo - Portland, ME. See many other aviation tattoos at http://www.tattoosinflight.com
