Straight back...there is a spot in the outline that didnt get covered. Goin to get that fixed on my touch-up out i have to get. My Father was sent back to iraq 10-14-2005, and the tattoo was inked on 10-17-2005. The wings are avaitor wings(left "metal" looking to resemble real avaitor wings) with a nautical star on top meaning master avaitor which is what my father is, and the cross is rusty nails(old) and fresh rope(new) combined. This was my first tattoo,so let me know what you think.
