The color is misleading I use a phone cam. I' see if I can get a good shot so you can see the detail.

Art, I have actually been toying around with the ideal of incorporating the Alembic logo into one of mine.

Yours in cool.

Art, yours is one of the very few tats I've seen that actually uses white ink instead of just leaving it naked. Very nice!

I hear you Peter, the one of mine in the link above has some white inked used THREE times on the Dive flag and it still looks like skin. The whit doesn't tke too well on me. Of course I spend a lot of time in the sun.

Bill, roll up some pain reliever and sit back in the chair.

OO

I like the outcome so the pain is easy to overlook and block out.

The white turned out really nice on this - as it's healing it's becoming only a bit more opaque - but still definitely white. I went for the straight up logo for inspiration. Years ago I placed the Hyak logo on me as well (prior to owning an Alembic) but it is on my upper right chest where I really can't enjoy it myself. This one was totally for me to enjoy and be inspired by - easily seen at any time

Thanks for all the nice comments and sharing of your own inspirational tattoos.

By request here is the Hyak

Cool! I couldn't get a tattoo. I am a big chicken.

Some kind of logo billboard I guess

I'm already planning for the next one and I don't think this one will be logo driven.

I have a huge tattoo that covers my left arm and runs straight over my shoulder, covers my chest and ends at my nipple - a Koi fish conquering the dragons gate waterfall and subsequently becoming a golden dragon.

It comes from chinese budhist legend ......fifteen hours of pain. For anyone here who hasnt had a tattoo on the pec let me tell you it is one of the most painful parts of the body to have tattooed - but it was worth it!

Sounds like a good one John! I've heard that the top of the foot is also a good and painful place.

I'm waiting for when No Tattoo will be the New Tattoo.

I've only used one artist thus far and I'm enjoying the canvas I've given to his pallette and skills.

I don't have any tattoos myself, though I have one I'd like to have done if I ever get it translated...a personal affirmation/declaration into arabic; just 'cause arabic writing is cool and I've been there; could be a problem at borders though...
The Alembic logo is cool! nice work! now we'll all get our Alembics tattooed on ourselves,which will be extra painful if ya sell one!

OK Olie, I'll bite: Please explain the significance of your left arm tat. Looks like something out of Revelation! By the way, are you a diver too? I'm a PADI Divemaster - underwater photography one of my hobbies.
