It generally deals with themes of enlightenment (have a look at the eye within a triangle on most US banknotes... it has symbolic significance), and also good versus evil (hence the angel's wings and the devil's tail and pitchfork). So I guess you could say that its really about how one uses one's wisdom. But I drew it myself when I was a teenager and into graffiti art. IMHO the the tattoo artist's handywork didn't quite capture the spirit of the original sketches. I have the same image, except with the black triangle inverted on my opposite arm.

Nice JB. I love tats that actually have special meanings or original tats created by the individual. Mine isn't exactly an original as there are many hearts with names in them. I drew up the design/color scheme, but it's meaning is important to me. It reminds me that I must make important decisions in life because their outcomes not only affect me.

Hey, all these tats are cool, but I'm still waiting to see someone who's got one related to FLAMENCO... that would be interesting.
I've always wanted to get a flamenco dancer on my forearm. Maybe someday. Ben Woods of Flametal Fame(www.flametal) has this really cool one. I believe it is on his shoulder. Here's a pic.

Yeh the old days when I used to get laid all the time.
Well Gabe don't take this the wrong way, bein as this is a public foro and all, but I think your new look is much more attractive than the old one, so I don't know why your getting laid success rate isn't higher

I'm just jelous. I really admire tattoos but don't have the huevos to put that many on. Plus, my wife would kill me. I have an idea for another one I'd like and I'm having a hard time trying to convice the wife. One will turn into two. Two will turn into three and so on.
