Lola, thanks for the input. Here’s a picture of my first tattoo, now keep in mind this was 50 years ago in Tacoma, WA and, get this, cost $7.50. The eagles beak is actually on the right side. At the time there was some yellow and red in it. At one point I was considering having it covered but then thought this was a classic and something to be proud of. The usual comment I get is’ What is that’ ?

Dan, thanks to you too, I like your turtle, looks like you like the tribal look as well. I really want to get another one but i think i need to find someone around the CT or New York area who’s a bit more experienced in Polynesian tribal.
