Well I had the leaf put on by an amature friend. Obviously im a fan of natural medicine 😉 and that leaf had my paw print in the center. The paw print is a symbol for me from years ago. I spent alot of time traveling around the states and doing a fair share of serious hitch hiking. Anyway I ran into a couple in Yuma from the local reservation at a craft show, we talked most the afternoon about my travels. My beard was grown out at the time and im a readhead and it comes in looking like stripes of read and brown any way they nicknamed me Tigger and I have used the paw symbol after my signature since then on everything I sign. (Jeash long explanation.)

Ok. So that explains the initial Tatt of the Leaf and Paw print.

It was redone by my cousin Luke, along with all the new work, (Sun, Owl, and Spider) The story goes… Owls are like this big sacred symbol for the uber elite, and I kind of mocked that by having him scouling as the big fat delicious spider dangles out of reach.

The Sun, well I just kinda gave Luke a wad of cash and he liked it with the owl and spider that i wanted. A.) He drew the sun years earlier and had always wanted to put it on someone. and B.) I sure as hell wasnt going to turn down additional ink 🙂 Besides I kinda like the sun so far as symbology goes.

The picture does not do it any justice. I’ll get a better one when I go in on the 7th for the shoulder wrap. (havent decided, but I’m leaning toward traditional style tatt of a chinese dragon)

Dragon eats Owl eats Spider. I think that would be cool.
