my first and so far only tat. got it done in japan. had to explain the whole thing in japanese, but it worked great. I love it, but other people may have other ideas....please let me know what you think.
PS. any future tats will probably be done by the same artist
The eight-ball is actually the artist, whose name is Eight, signing the tat. This a tradition of Japanese tattoo art, much like any other artist signing his piece. Thanks for the comment.
