This is only one of the many but the most significant (and the only one I have a picture of on my phone)

1) 2) 3) 4) 5)

1) Old Navy junk. Spent fifteen years in the Nav. "Hold Fast" is in legend an aid to handling rigging; The compass rose is so one doesn't ever get lost; The sailor girly is just classic Sailor Jerry flash. "Lori" is my ex :p.
2) A conglomeration of Ed Roth art. The driver was originally in a VW. We put him in a car I had when I was younger, a '68 Dodge Coronet R/T. Mine did not have a blown 426 Hemi however (though it did have a 440 Six Pak and a 4 speed :evil:), but Hemis Rock, so the tattoo got one.
3) The Black Flag tattoo was my first. It's been re-inked several times; crossed anchors are the symbol of my navy rating, Boatswain's Mate.
4) Luv me some Gogol Bordello.
5) The family crest. Anytime you see a crest with the armored helmet and sword it's additional heraldry to the crest symbolizing that the family participated in the Crusades.

I have nothing but respect for you! You are the true salty sailor that the Navy is missing nowadays. Love your ink!

I've been MIA for a bit (school and all), but it was lovely coming back and seeing all the new posts! Holy wow. I still haven't gotten my new one though. Gotten so busy lately...

Good to see you, stranger! I love your thread, so I'll keep it near the top while you're busy. Like I said, no one can stop me:p! I'm getting a beautiful blue guitar and a line from Wallace Steven's The Man With The Blue Guitar for my birthday (June 17th). I can't wait:)! I knew you'd especially appreciate entropy's Navy ink. Glad you came back to check 'em out. Hope to see plenty more (and eventually your next one) in this thread to come!

Done, for now. I'm not even gonna lie, I
.....ed out. There's gonna be A LOT more
shading, and "white wash" but I couldn't take
anymore. Once the complete piece is done,
it's gonna go down just past my waist line. It
woulda gone a good 3 inches past my waist
line, but I was like "what's the point?" so, we
reduced it by 10% to make it fit better. Becca
says to me "That woulda been effin sexy! "
..... Too late now lol


Analog free since April 16th! (Day after my daughter was born ;) smokless image saved me! )
 
Anytime you wanna share more of your ink (see some on your arm), you know where to find us:2cool:.

Not the greatest pic, but it's the best I can do for now. This is my other side. There's more to it, but this is the bulk of it.
