Hey guys,
Well I went and got my first tat today. The first picture is what I asked for, the second will be what I got.

Here is the actual tat. It is about 3 hours old. My artist said the yellow (looks burnt orange) will be a bright yellow and the red, orange and torange (tan/orange) will mellow out just a little when the redness of my skin goes away.

There are some changes from the original (I designed it), but they are changes (recommendations from my artist) for the better.

Let me know what you think.

Nice work - it looks great! And it will melow out over a little time - just keep it out of water and sunlight! Plenty of ointment!
 
(USN05LE @ Jan. 08 2007,23:21) Took 3 1/2 hours.  It didn't really hurt.  It was irritating and I got bored.

Thanks guys. To top it all off. I contracted some sort of 24 hour bug at a Navy conference this weekend in Memphis and I fell like BBK signature. It decided to kick in during my chair session.

Make sure you take good care of it and step out into the sun once in a while.
