MARZ-
Thanks for the props on my tattoos. I love them and i'm really proud of them. I got my first tat last Summer just befoe i turned 47. I'm sort of a fanatic now. I have several ideas for a few custom pieces but I'm limited by cash.... not my imagination! 
Thanks again-
Mike
You should be proud of them, they are great.
When I was still living in Cali my tattoo artists studio (that I spent about 12 hours or more in) had a big sticker that said;
WELCOME TO YOUR NEW ADDICTION
I found it quite fitting. Once you get one, you only want more.
I am a fan of the traditional tattoo art as well, I am going in for a sparrow soon.
Awww, I see ya got a little bit of Captin' in ya...
a little "Jack Sparrow" captain that is!

I like the old skool ones too!
