I'll play. This is a cover up that has not quite been finished yet. The first pic is through a mirror so it's in reverse. The second one shows the bass clef in the eye properly.

I've actually had it for 4-5 years, but I just got it redone. I'm planning on completing the sleeve within the year.

Nice Work ! Could you explain the significance of that style of star ?, I have seen alot of young people with them recently and I didint know if it represented something. Thanks.

Its a nautical star, is used as a punk/psychobilly/rockabilly/hardcore etc logo, also has a navel type people, sailors! (nautical, obviously, often used as compass pointers on maps), + they just look cooler that normal stars, especially that one, i really like the flames in the background of the colour :)

Thanks! As Mohawk said, it's a nautical star - and it's most often associated with punk/hardcore etc. these days. I've been fascinated by tattoos for as long as I can remember, particularly the classics (Sailor Jerry, etc.).

To be honest, my star doesn't have much of a personal meaning, it's just my way of paying tribute to classic tattoo flash - In a properly coordinating way, of course. :)

And Mohawk, thanks for the compliment! It was originally just solid black and red, but it had become so faded you could hardly see the red. I decided it was time for an overhaul, and I was really happy with the flames the artist had done for me, so I ran with it!
