Had to brag on the tattoo artist i use. He started my half sleeve tuesday and i couldn't be happier with the outcome. The talent and professionalism he displays blows my mind. This man has covered almost half of my body with ink and every time i walk put more impressed. Thanks for looking. IMG_20190904_094902_661.jpg

Whenever I see those intricate designs I want to ask the person just what do all of those pictures, symbols, etc. mean/stand for. So if you got a minute and don't mind sharing I'd like to hear from you. Probably others on here who'd like to know as well.
Inquiring minds want to know!
Thanks.

Sure i dont mind at all. So the octupus and skull are the beginning of what will be a full aquatic sleeve. My passion for the ocean and everything within it has kept grounded over time. I love to fish and i love anything underwater. 20190307_210422.jpg Then there is the Saint Michael piece on my back. The arch angel. In my line of work i to have a similar role, a protector and defender. As i have sworn to do so i pray also that Michael watches over me in the darkness of the night.

That course showed me what i was really made of and how much i am capable of.3yrpnaBX-40155899.jpg The ship on the rough waters. The clouds have a ray of light shining through. My wife has the lighthouse broadcasting the light on her side. Always leading me home.HywNv3nR-22075659.jpg And finally the mermaids. Why mermaids? Because my whole world is fascinated with mermaids. When i asked my baby girl what kind of tattoo she wanted daddy to get for her there was no guessing. Everything i have holds a place dear to my heart. Im not done yet and can't wait to get more.

He is amazingly fast with his work thankfully. He only worked on my arm for about 6 hours.
