New Ink – What do you think?

Finally got my ink done on Tues night from Chap over at Sabertooth Tattoo. I think it turned out awesome! We worked out a trade off an ad I had posted on CL for web design in exchange for tattoo work. It turned out to be an extremely fair trade, and I think both of us walked away satisfied. I’m going back on the 19th to have the coloring done, and I”m so stoked to see it finished. What do you think?

I didn’t really want any more ink, as I really haven’t had much done in the last 4 years, but I always felt kind of unbalanced as the inside of both arms are done, and my right shoulder was capped. It just felt uneven, and I wanted something to fit with the tradition/classic style tattoos that I have so far, and this fit perfectly. Its pretty symbolic as far as its meaning, but just in general I love traditional style tattooing, and that was good enough for me. I finally feel complete and balanced as far as my tattoos go, so I’m excited to get the coloring done and be satisfied with my ink for life
