i currently have six. i got my first one in 1977 while assigned to my first PDS in the Bay Area. it's a dragon on my left forarm. i waited many years until my second tattoo, a large tribal hammerhead shark on the outside of my right calf. next came a large phoenix on the outside of my left calf, then a fairly large peice on my left shoulder/upper arm. it consists of a rose(wife), crysanthimum(daughter #10, and lotus blossom(daughter#2). next came a sun with a Hopi-ish center design in the middle as a right shoulder cap. last year i had a back peice done. took 17 hours in all (4 seperate sessions). it's 3 sunflowers with my Kanji (G*d-strength-beauty) incorporated into the design.
november 4th i'll begin filling in my right calf/leg. more hammerheads and an underwater seascape. with the exception of my first tattoo, all the work has been done by one tattooist, and all the work is custom.
