Well the simple lines and 2-d shapes are what I wanted. I had it drawn buy an apprentice named Corey at karmic tattoo in Georgia. But the ink was done by Rafael rivera at tattoo jungle in Alabama. He didn’t sketch anything. So the sketch is very simple and plain and not amazing I know. But the color is good and vibrant and the shading is amazing. If RAF had sketched it too it would have looked “better” In a lot of peoples minds but I had it sketched the way I wanted.
And gsouder, that was funny lol

The one dimensional look is exactly what I was going for. I have other designs that I plan on doing in different styles. But this came out the way I wanted. The artist Is Rafael rivera at tattoo jungle in Pelham Alabama. His personal art website is http://www.woundedlamb.com

haha, nope, no suited politicians crammed in an hourglass,
my idea is more or less, making my back one giant hourglass, and having anti war symbolism in it.

not to start any arguments since this isn’t the place, but I fully respect troops from any country, I respect them and their service, and it is honorable.
I just don’t like war, and killing. I’m sure everybody can agree,
a perfect world would have peace and no wars.

but there would be protesters throwing things, and riot control people fighting back, lots of grenades, and bombs cracking the hourglass which symbolizes time, since eventually if people keep fighting nuclear war would destroy everything. anyway lots of detail and chaos.
but the backpiece is way in the future and not fullythought out yet. I’m taking my time since it’s a big piece.

anyway, i still haven’t figured out exactly how to post pics here, but I uploaded 3 pics of my forearm tattoo to my album which you can view and rate.
