My new cover-up (pictures inside)...

Prior to my 30th birthday, I got a tribal sun tattooed on my right
shoulder. I made the tattoo newbie mistake of:

A. picking something off the wall
B. not looking for a quality artist to work with

The result of my inexperience looked as follows:

After commissioning four different artists to draw me a cover-up
designs, I finally found one I liked (still a bit bloody):

That's hella cooler than the initial tattoo. I definitely like it more.
Well done. Where'd you get the work and who was the artist?

And when are you going back for flames blasting down your forearm? ;o)

Seriously, thanks for the share.

Troy of South Side Tattoos of Howell, NJ (he's the owner). Very cool
guy. Obviously a talented artist.

LOL. When I no longer work for a Fortune 100 and can get away with
sleeves on both arms.

I'd agree on the cause for this result. Not the best work I've seen, but
then again it was your first? *g*

~Very~ nice. This reminds me much more of Eastern dragon interpretations.
I'd be jealous if it wasn't for the fact that I'm currently in the middle
of a ~huge~ back piece.

Nicely Done!

heh

Although teachers have worn shorts, typically during sports activities,
I'm not one to show my tattoos at work. Not that Calvin and Hobbes
would be very intimidating to faculty, staff or students.

Nice. Going across the shin like that must have hurt something
fierce.
