Very cool! In a good spot, too. 🙂

yeah, I would say an owl…with Glasses! guess the glasses is stereotypcial, but, yeah.:cool: Maybe SUNglasses though!

Just bumping this up…hoping someone might be able to help out with the explanation. I did read that it’s a “traditional” tattoo apparently, although idk if that’s true. Anyone??

I don’t mind you asking. As someone pointed out earlier, the contrasting images between the skull and robin makes the piece really interesting…a symbol of life and death.

I think a crow or a raven would look great too…but I like tats that are very artsy and imo, the robin does that and gives it more of a healing look.…[Read more]

Maybe it stemmed from cuckoo clocks, or the relationship with time and wisdom.

Just stabbing in the dark here.

Was thinking that, too. But figured there might be more to it.

Hi. Im Michael j. Fox and i’ll be celebrity tattooing u today!”.

You see one tribal u seen them all… Imo. I think theyre kinda a “here and now” thing, part of the pop culture and i dont thing theyre gonna endure. Think 10 years from now wen ppl look back on the decade… “hey, remember Lady gaga, facebook, and tribal tattoos?”. Thats where i see tribal going. But if u really like, then get. Afterall u wont…[Read more]

That skull is def awesome, one of the best i seen. I dont prefer the robin cuz it doesnt seem to be fitting, i would go w/ a raven or something like that. But, if u are liking the robin , then thats cool. Just offering my opinion. The raven just makes more sense. With the robin ppl arent gonna see hiw it fits and will prob ask. How does it fit…[Read more]

I”m pretty pale, so thanks. I kno ppl who have all black and it does look cool, but i kinda like color.

Cool. THanks for ur help. HA…I thought I knew more than I do, but i”m learning!

Ight, thanks, man. I wonder y ppl say it hit the bone then? I guess they thought it did cuz it hurt like hell, from the nerves in the area like u said.

I came across several phoenix tat pics while searching for ideas… Your’s is the best i’ve seen! cool colors!

Ok, thanks for explaining. Yeah, I thought the needle was a bit longer. So, about how long would u say a needle is?

LOL… but it does touch the bone sometimes, doesn’t it? Cuz i hear ppl say that getting their tat hurt when the artist hit the bone. (yeah, I kno it doesn’t penetrate the bone…LOL)

ok, that’s a bit more reassuring.

how about a sword?

just doesnt seem like there’s any muscle there. I kno hitting bone happens, but i’m imagining that if it were going through muscle first. To me, i’m just imagining the needle going right through the skin and into the bone. also, im not sure how long the needle is…

B/c i heard that hitting bone is more painful. I can imagine a needing going into my muscle, and I’m fine with that, but hitting the bone kinda seems like it would be extra painful. (especially the shin bone, which is more sensitive than other bones I believe) wasn’t sure if there is a technique to avoid doing that. but thanks for replying

Sounds similar to the idea of “time heals all wounds” with which you can get a clock/watch face.
