Phase 2- Shading's done. The clef was my first tat; got it in '96.
(And no, the clef is not backward. It's in a mirror.)

Not a bass tattoo... but... I wanted to share. It is RELATED to bass because my band happens to also have a vintage aviation theme... 
the finished product from my post on the previous page. I'll include the original image too. Even though the staff lines have been removed, does that bass line look familiar to anyone ? It is an actual bass intro from a classic metal song \m/. Keep in mind this was taken at the end of a 12 hr marathon session & will be much sharper when properly healed. Comments from the Ink fans only, please.

Had these for a while, but I never got around to posting pics...

My bass yang was inspired by the Gecko I built, the one in avatar and my first five string.
(I designed this one, I'm a graphic artist by day). This one's between my shoulder blades.
The sleeve is reversed in the mirror, but I've had more than a few people tell me the top part at my shoulder looks like a stylized bass clef... completely unplanned, as part of the meaning behind the sleeve was to let the tattoo artist design it.
I had John Fromel do a custom Death Is Gain / Shape EQ for me and sent him a cross section from the sleeve, he etched it on the pedal.

Nice work...do her boobs look smaller than in the original art piece because of the angle on your calf?
Not that I'm a boob man or anything...
LOL, the artist actually enhanced them slightly. funny thing, when I do calf or leg exercises in the gym now, they bounce up & down. It's pretty funny.
PS, Fatty is pretty close to you, in DC. Go get you some !

Unfortunately I don't have any jet..But I seer many ideas here and great looking tattoos..Thanks for sharing...
Got this almost 2 years ago. Have a buddy of mine who is a tattoo artist designing me a huge piece (Da Vinci's last supper with some of the greats) that will cover my back. Should be on me in a few months. Will post pics when I got it done.
Is there a story behind the logo/symbol itself?My favorite custom pedal inspired this...
Just got this done today!
Out of all of the cool tattoos in this thread,,,, I like this one the best.
Nice work gecko!

Flea must've broken it by popping too much. It's probably safe to assume he's a RHCP fan.
