both arms. left has old school themes in new school style, a swallow that remembers me to never look down, a three eyed owl that represents intelligence and a sailor's grave with my mum's name on it. right arm is a WIP, old pictures and symbols from different kinds of buddhism. two pictures stand out, the image of golden tara representing wealth and good luck and the image of saraswati, the river, representing intelligence, arts and wisdom. Start getting them when I was 16, I'm now 20. Did it because it felt natural.

i have a leg sleeve but the main part is a tiger.
i got it because i wanted a leg sleeve. someone in my life is an addict, an addict to heroin and cocaine. constantly throughout my life that person has tried to commit suicide in various different forms as said person suffers from severe depression due to addiction.
one time i was stayed with said person and said person was upstairs on the phone and i could hear screaming and shouting. i was sat downstairs stoned out of my face watching tv. it carried on to the point i thought id best go see if said person was ok. i found said person crying with said persons wrists slashed and blood everywhere. i called the police and ambulance and said person was taken away kicking and screaming, shouting at said persons sober sponsor.
that was the last time i saw said person for a very long time due to rehabilitation.
so i decided that i'd get a tiger known for their courage in hope that said person would pull through. said person still struggles now and again but is doing O.K..
that said person is the closest person to me.
i also have a 13 to represent friday the 13th (tattoo culture heads will know)
a hannya mask cos it looks cool
some roses as well to complete the sleeve.
was going to get babe tattoo'd by my mate after being up for 36 hours on drugs across my peck but decided against it last minute.

One of my mates recently got "Jah Bless" tattoo'd on his biceps... Not sure what to think of that tbh. Tattoo itself is done nicely though.

I just googled ankle wrap and it's some of the gayest shit I've seen.
It's like the tramp stamp of feet.

But only around a strip maybe 10cm side around my ankles in the style of Zulu or possibly Aztec Artwork.

Some of you have already seen this
When i was 18 i had just finished my third pint in my local when a mate suggested some i know tattoo me with his scratcher so naturally i decided this was a great idea
my mate took time to get his kit ready so i finished a couple tins and smoked a few spliffs while deciding what i was getting
ended up with this cyanide and happiness design
it bled a fuckload
