Sup – just had mine done a day ago – the Reaper was to cover up a previous name of my ex-wife, I don’t regret getting that one done cuz she’s stuck with my 7 letter name on her tiny arm, and I only had 4 letters to cover. No regrets, we are what we’ve done – and long story short I waited until I found what I wanted.
The barb wire is because of where I work and what I do for the DoD, the Reaper is not only my nickname but a large part of my dark humor and other things that ties even into my passion for sports cars, even a 927 hp flat black 911 twin turbo. Its not about image, its about power, its about passion…nothing more.
The nickname “REAPER” on my neck is just that – how I label and see myself – keeps most people from talking to me, but usually people worth knowing aren’t afraid to approach. The past bit since I had it done has been an eye opener for me if my tattoos are visable…
The number 13 on my right side of my neck is NOT for some gang crap – its to showcase my becoming and understanding the transformation my life has had in the past 6 years working in a war zone and things that go along with it. Death, misfortune, and untold knowledge are what it represents and I think its pretty accurate of who I am.
Enough talk – here’s my tats:
In the mirror shot for detail:
The artist wsa Cesar (sorry don’t know the last name) and he is working as a guest at Monster Ink in Piedmont, SC 864.201.0597 is the phone. He usually works in Miami and LA but is out here for a break. I’m on leave going back to AFG in 3 days so I had limited time 🙂 I lucked out on his skills.
Thanks for the kind words guys –
Butterfly: the font was hand written in ballpoint pen free hand and he did the rest with it 🙂

Sure will – i’m a contractor and have been in IRQ & AFG since ’04. Your brother will be in my prayers.
The barbed wire was from an older tat that had my ex-wife’s name below it – we met on a Firebase in AFG in 2005, she was 82nd airborne and I was a contractor, we almost got busted so we had to hide in pallets of barbed wire 🙂
This site is great BTW 🙂 so much great art out there.
