This was the first tattoo I got. It's not detailed or anything, but I think most people here should recognize it.

Question for everyone:
I've always wondered about the "tribal" tattoos... Are they in bad taste? I mean, I really like some of the designs and have seen some really cool work on here, but I've always wondered if it was bad form to get such a traditional tattoo if I'm just an Irish guy from the States. The designs have meaning and I get the weird feeling that if I got something like that and then visited, say the Polynesian Islands, would the natives have a right to be upset?
Just curious.

That Kon-Tiki is so crisp and clean. Top Notch, I'm jealous.

My seven year old son surprised me with these Tiki Mug and Skulls a few days ago:
no worries... he used a pen, but he called tattoos
