I really like how the flag is done in the background. Its got the original look that makes it almost "feel" like fabric. And that eagle looks pissed. haha. I'm not one for patriotic tats or anything but really you have some nice work.
When I first looked at it I didn't see the old one, but then when I looked at what used to be there now I can see it. I think with more work it will be gone forever.
