A 3/4 Sleeve is a nice option if you do not want to show off your tattoo all the time

Scooby Doo Tattoo
Fun Fortune telling Scooby Doo Tattoo. For some reason I don't get to do many "wacky" tattoos so this one was fun. Looks like it could be turning into a sleeve and some of the ideas are going to be amusing.

jobstopper — Jobstopper Tattoo
They are so called because they stop you getting a job. Although now days that does not seem to be the case its still a really cool name for a tattoo. Need a Job-stopper? I know a guy.

This tattoo was freehand from start to finish

Falcon Tattoos

When you pick up a somewhat unfortunate nickname whilst swimming the channel. Don't worry, I can turn it into a cool badge of honour to make you look "salty"
