My Fourteenth Tattoo...

And not a moment too soon. I have finally begun to work on my full sleeve. A big chunk of it is done by my latest piece. I still have room for a little more. That will be done a little while from now.

This bad boy was done by Chris Slota at Rock-a-Billy Tattoos in Lauderhill, Fl. I think I have found my "tattoo guy" here in Florida. He is amazing. The guy who did my foot tattoo (see My Twelveth Tattoo...) recommended this new shop. There were quite a few artists there and after looking at all their books twice I decided on Chris. He had alot of really colorful tattoos. It works with the rest of my arm.

The meaning behind this tattoo is simple. I love the sea and really old pirate style sail boats. I wanted the sails to be tattered because it shows that the things I had been through haven't always been smooth. The palm trees were also added because nothing makes me happier than palm trees and sunshine.
