The tats that have a lot of thought put into them, seem to be the ones that are beautifully and tastefully done to me, whilst others look like they've let loose a group of pre-schoolers with a tat gun.

I have a small tribal dolphin on the inside of my left ankle which means strength & wisdom. Tis my own design and the only one that I have so far. The tattoo (or ta moko, as it is known by my peeps) that I do want, has to be earned and approved of by my elders. That is a very long, drawn out and painful process!

I have 2 tat's, both custom & special to me. I put them where they are covered, for my normal day life. I think tat's are fine, but think to the future when planning them & their placement. Know some people that regret a youthfull decision, as the placement of a tat, was all that stopped them from getting a very good job, that they really wanted.

Society's rule govern appearance & always will. It is a choice we all make & decisions while young, have altered many lives. Mine included. Like that line from an old song; "regrets I have a few, but then again, not really many." I will NEVER regret my tat's.

used to fo ink ( in a shop, not garage ) thats some real nice work you have; from line work to shading. Very nice
