This makes tattoo number four. Have yourselves a look.
(make with the clicking for a larger shot.)
The tattoo takes up the vast majority of my left forearm, stretching from just under the crook of my elbow to about four inches from the base of my palm. It also wraps around my forearm so that the edges of the tattoo are visible even if you're looking at the front of my arm.
In other words, the thing is God Damned Huge.
The work was done by the amazing Jackie Brown over at
No Ka Oi. We bonded a little bit by talking shit about the state of Hawai'i while being in a Hawai'i-themed tattoo shop. I am beyond happy with the work and plan on going back to her for my next piece, which I've already designed in my head.
So now I am a smoking, drinking, cursing guy with a tattoo on his forearm that says "criminal element" on it. I am become cliche.
