That is an awesome tat. Never seen anything quite like it, but thats truly cool!

Thanks. Thanks to you too Evan. Yeah the guy that did it usually does really intricate dragons and stuff like that. He's a Japanese dude that came over here from Japan. In Japan he made his bread and butter doing tats for members of the Yakuza (Japanese Mafia). Those guys have their whole back tattooed in intricate craziness, scales of dragons, goldfish, ships at sea, geisha's etc. Ran into the cat and told him I was a bass player and we got to talking. (I wasn't really even looking for one). I drew him a quick sketch of the bass cleff and the next time I saw him he presented this design to me. I was really stoked so I went with it. It's needs a touch up and I can't find him. :bawl: YO JIRO if you're out there, give me a shout! Think that helped?

Thats cool. A nice tattoo and an interesting story to go with it. Was it an electric machine or the traditional style (I realize the tattoo isn't traditional, but no reason it couldn't have been done that way)?
