Here is my upper back tat. The idea behind it is that the ravens are flying towards each others, representing life and death and the continuation of life. They're ravens (death) and are in flying position (life). For me, it represents people I've lost in my life as well as life that keeps going on, no matter what happens.
I got it done on my 27th birthday, in 2009, by Joel Conroy of Tattoo Mania in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It's my second tattoo (got another one on my inside wrist). Feel free to comment.
