Ive been hearing a lot of stuff about anchors this year. I know at least three-four people who got almost the same "Anchor Steam" type of design.

What ever Chad Koeplinger does next

yeah, was thinkin that those native american geometric lookin designs he's been doing would take off.

i think i saw a pic where steve byrne used a design like that too.

I would call this the year of the Dragon, not that it's a bad thing or that dragons aren't always in, but now I am seeing people walking in off the street wanting dragons as opposed to just regulars customers getting them. Sure beats the rebirth of tribal that happened early 2010 for us.

Barbed wire and storm clouds everywhere .

[ShawnPorter]

I agree with girlhead/animal caps.

...and i'll throw in more empty occult tats.

You should see some of the stuff that gets submitted to my blog; 99.9% of which I send a polite "that's not very well done, is it?" message to. Apparently putting latin or an inverted cross into it qualifies as Occult.

I want a cathedral/church/tower sans fire; I think it might be a bitch for an artist considering all the straight lines, but I'm thinking simple, like the ones statues of saints hold.

Gregor, you're so right. I'm not going to go the way the herd do. Instead I'm going to get a moustache finger tattoo (makes it look like you have a real moustache!!!1).
