First TATTOO

Howie Kaluha · 01-14-2007, 06:05 PM

I never thought I'd end up with one. But, when I started seeing the work this guy was doing on my uncle, I knew I had to have one. I think it's pretty creative (thought of it myself). This guy has waiting lists to get tattoo work done and he drove down from jax today to work on my uncle, a friend, and me!

I'll get more pics later when it's all healed up

Interesting concept. The top and bottom stripes in the actual U.S. flag are red.

Yeah, but fortunately I think the pic is of a mirror image of the actual tattoo.

Nope, just held a flag up in the mirror. Doesn't change the order of the stripes, but it would make the tattoo look like it was on the opposite shoulder.

I like how you showed the muscel tissue underneath intertwined with the flag. Looks good man.

Nice artwork,Unfortunately the stripes are wrong.It looks like it is a very symbolic gesture of patriotism to our country.

Give him a break guys. He loves his country enough to have it stained in his skin for all to see for the rest of his life. It is not the time to critique his artist, but to salute the heart of the man that had the artwork done. Howie: Salute to you for getting the Red,White, and Blue done permanently. I'm sure you will live up to the commitment of your colors.

That I will. And I appreciate these words from you!

We somehow got confused about the stripes when were confirming that (for sure) there are 13 stripes and the one under the stars is white. Ain't no biggie. I'm gonna have him fill in the top and bottom portions of the flag so you can't tell. I'm thinking "liberty" over the top and "justice" over the bottom

You know what they say about tattoos. They're like potato chips. Can't have just one...
