On my upper right arm, a celtic knot arm band with my family shield over the it. Sent you a pic **Hamadryad**. Only took about 6 hours. Coloring in the knot on the underside of my arm was a bit of a lip biter.

Well let’s see…Left upper arm, a large fire and ice yin-yang symbol, upper right arm, a heart with a scroll through it with my wife’s name, and a naked green chick with blue hair below that.

I don’t have any tattoos, but I found [this]([www.bmeworld.com/buttrfly/](http://www.bmeworld.com/buttrfly/) foot.html) interesting.

After reading this thread, and **Hamadryad’s** thread, and looking at **Hama’s** site and everyone else’s cool ink…  
Now I want another one.

Thanks for posting the update, **Hama** - it looks so much better now than it did before - the artist is amazing. My little bitty tattoo doesn’t do an adequate job of showing off his skills, but I love it.

I got mine in the beginning of the year. After going through troubles and tribulations for the past few years, I wanted something to remind me that there is always a tomorrow and things can always change.

So on my left arm is a Phoenix in a kind of tribal design. It’s significant to me personally, and I just think its hella-cool looking on top of it.

I’ll send a picture to you **Hamadryad** as soon as I get a chance to.
