Country: | yeah it's a bit of an odd thing to get a tattoo of, do you have any particular reason?

Country:  | My recommendation is to make it a back piece and get it done in grey scale like a pencile drawing. That would look good. All of my tattoos are done like this and I love them.

Country: | Kind of like these here. Turn them into whole scenes and use the art work as an entire back piece. That would be impressive.

Country: | I have one.... got the name "Squirrel" tattooed on my left shoulder in 1952
in Jax, Fla. It was a nickname as a youngster.
Since then I've had an auto accident and they had to remove
most of the muscle in my left shoulder. Now the tattoo looks like
the tattoo artist hiccuped !
Remind me to show you my birthmark (!)
