Well been thinking about some new ink for awhile. I pulled the basic design together and the artist did the rest. It's on the left arm and took about 3.5 hours.

That looks Awesome! I wish i had some tattoo money.. Seems like I spend all my money on knives these days.. Ehh, I'm running out of room anyway.. (I have LOTS of tattoos..)

Do the symbols/characters (i forget the correct term for them) mean something?

I like it, it has a biomechanical feel to it, which I think is the coolest type of tattoos. If I get one, it's gotta be something crazy like these.

Dude nice piece! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Hey Pink, you should check out Guy Aitchison.. He does the BEST bio-mech work out there IMO.. www.hyperspacestudios.com

Thanks,

Great pics

The characters are called Runes. Each one has a meaning. The circle in the tattoo contains the entire Elder Futhark which is the oldest form of the runic alphabet.

Ah yes, the knot of the slain or valknut. The sign of Odin! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

My family is from Heavener, OK. There is the Heavener Runestone very close by, yet still a mystery.

yo Clinnntor, let's see some of the ink? lol don't mind me. I' m drinkinbg.

I always tossed around the idea of getting some ink . I always spend money on other stuff thoughg

bors - The more I look at the tattoo the better it looks. The lines are very crisp and clean, and the contrast/shading is nice.

el clintor - Thanks for the link, there was some amazing work in there.

I've always wanted a tattoo, but I told myself that if I get one, I'm going all out, not a small fairy on the low of my back (hahah). I always liked the sleeve ones that run from the thigh/knee down to the ankle.

One of my friend is like a walking canvas, he's always getting new and random tattoos wherever there is room.

Bors, that is sweet. I love tats that mix traditional and modern themes. One day I am getting a Celtic cross emcompased by the old tri-dogs of war.

Hey Snotpig, that is an area that the wife and I were going to go to and camp over at Lake Wister. But since she is sick I might have to make the 3 hr trip by myself and do some exploring.
