This was my 1st tattoo, done in Venice Beach almost 10 years ago. It's the Shotokan Karate symbol (I did Shotokan for about 14 years), which is a rounded tiger. It's on my left shoulderblade. Not your traditional tiger, but this is pretty much exactly what the Shotokan insignia looks like. I wish I had made it bigger, as it probably would have held up better over time with more separation between the pieces.
