If I were doing something that detailed, I would definitely go to someone like Cook. I looked at all his work.... the octopus tattoos were sick...

This is obviously not reef tank related, but I saw a father and son on the beach in Maui years ago. They both had a tatoo of their family crest on the upper back. I thought, I am NOT a tatoo guy, but that right there is pretty cool!

Jw if anyone can direct me to a reputable site in which I can get a translation into symbols!

I just got this one 2 weeks ago. The pic isn't great but the color is a really nice, bright blue.

That's a pretty cool tattoo pjewett, it's almost like a tribal design, except it actually has something in it which makes it much cooler.

+1 on not doing any kanji.

Here's an outline on my thigh of a leafy sea dragon I've had for over a year. Getting it colored in soon and I'm going to add more eventually...

ImAFinAddict · 04/23/2012, 07:17 PM

Maybe this thread should be moved to the lounge?!?

Hormigaquatica · 04/23/2012, 10:06 PM

Wow, it's been almost 3 years since I posted on this thread- great timing (to me) in resurrecting it, because I'm heading in to start my first reef tattoo in a few years in just 12 hours

ImAFinAddict, I LOVE the sea dragon tattoo by the way! You'll have to post photos again after you get the color done.

Any other new reefer ink out there in the last few years..?

Hormigaquatica · 11/20/2012, 05:42 PM

Bump to see some new artwork. Just got mine finished today (finally); anyone else have new reef ink to show?

ReefUrchin · 11/20/2012, 08:14 PM

Wow!! I think we have a winner!!!

Aeolius · 12/07/2012, 03:27 PM

I got this one a week ago. I'll head back in a few weeks for some color and more critters:

Aeolius · 12/07/2012, 03:31 PM

Last year, I got this one:

The year before, I got my first:

The weedy seadragon symbolizes fatherhood, while the pacific griant octopus symbolizes motherhood (ever heard the tale of Aurora the octopus?). The sargassum sleeve is loaded with critters, thus symbolizing my children.

skyler78 · 12/07/2012, 03:39 PM

unless you're japanese, japanese words/symbols are for dbags.. no offense but it's kind like getting tribal tattoos.. that **** is 1994 and an instant sign of no brains...

Sethjamto · 12/07/2012, 04:04 PM

Here's mine
