Ink

I firmly believe the body is the temple of the Lord. As such, I take a lot of time considering what tattoos I'm going to get on my temple. In some ways, getting tattooed is a sacred experience.
Its permanent.
Its a forever statement about what's important to me.

I've figured out what my next few tattoos will be.

The first I'm getting done by Gene Coffey in NYC. His watercolor is amazing. I'm getting a red kite, the national bird of Wales, which is where my last name comes from. The red kite is a bird of prey and its awfully majestic but I really love that it symbolizes my last name.  I'm planning to get two: 1 for me and eventually one for my wife.

For me, I'm getting one positioned like this. I like that its a focused posture and that you can't see the body of the bird.





















When I get married, I'm getting one to represent my wife.

I like the idea of having one that's body side open for my wife. I want the one for me to be in more of a closed off position but I know she'll be the one person that opens me up so I want to be represented as such.

I think I'll have her bird coming into mine so in the end you won't see the whole body of my wife bird because the wingspan of the me bird will cover some of her but I definitely want her wingspan and head and tail feathers seen.

I think its going to be dope. I'm thinking this will be a thigh piece on the front of my right leg. Its the leg I use to use on so I think that's good symbolism too.

My other tattoo concepts....you'll just have to wait and see!
