I designed this before leaving for Hawaii, and originally is was just aesthetically pleasing. It did occur to me it could be construed as a stylized "S" for my last name but that was an afterthought.
Once I got it, though, it took on real meaning, with the curves representing the coast along the windward side up to the North Shore and the yellow oval standing in for the sun. It's inside my right ankle, and even though i wish it was a tad bigger I think it came out great. (Thanks to Mike at Skin Deep in Honolulu)

New tattoo from Hawaii trip
Alien Tribal
An "Alien Tribal" tattoo design that I made. I might even get it done some day. Let me know what you think of it!
Wolfhead tattoo
While it's hidden now, this is the tattoo I have on the right side of my head. It was designed for me by my good friend Tara and the tattoo was done by Tara's friend Wes in his kitchen (nothing sketchy, he had professional equipment and fresh needles). The left side is the same design, but just an outline, it's not filled in. This is on purpose, my idea was for a black wolf and a white wolf. But people would still ask, "So, when are you getting the other side finished?"
