Next tat will be a manta ray. Still trying to decide on the location, though.

Finally got something to cover up an old crappy tattoo I got when I was a punk street kid. I really do like this SCUBA stuff!

Wish there was a "Like" button here.... Well done, Rick!

Edit: I see now that the fin doesn't appear to have spring straps. What the hell is wrong with you? That's a potential failure point! :neener:

Josh: Don't add a thing to your tat. Just get a sailor cap, corncob pipe, and squint with one eye. Oh, and don't forget your spinach. At least you have the forearm for it.

p.s. My wife won't give me money for a tattoo. I did get one during a colonoscopy...never mind.

I've also been wanting a shark for longer than I can remember, I just haven't found the right spot for it.

Just an idea but how about curved SHARK around your hip with the head ending at and biting your butt.........just saying that would be awesome and funny. :nutty: <<<me

I have a design I half borrowed, half altered. I said I was going to get it after finishing my DM, but I've put that on hold to clear out some other projects, so it'll be a while. It's a really awesome mermaid, very flowing-lines style without a lot of detail (except for curves, baby, lots of curves!) and flowing hair. Her head is thrown back and her tail is curved up so it's almost circular. It's going at the top of my back, right at the top of my shoulders, prob about 4-5 inches wide. It's all blackwork, except the lips are red.

All of my tattoos come from a water theme, but as far as them that's diving specific........

Really nice Kelly!

I'm not a tatoo guy myself, but if I was to ever go that route I love the designs and colors in your turtles and Octos!
