This tattoo is one of our top favorites which was shared by BreaMarie. She said “” My tattoo was done by Chris Oppenheim from manictattoos.com he does all of my work. This tattoo was drawn by hand on me with permanent marker and then tattooed over it. There will never be another exactly like it.”

What Chris says of his koi dragon tattoo on his rib
The Koi is the symbol of strength and will, the will to go against odds to reach the destiny. And the Dragon is the power and ferocity. The mystery and Aura. During their transformation into a Dragon they are at their most powerful magic wise but at the weakest in body due to the change.

My Dragon Koi symbolizes how as humans we are like the the Koi struggling and fighting through life trying to achieve or better ourselves. We are always changing into something else. The tattoo was done by By Chad Woodley of Sanitary Electric Tattoo CO in 7 sessions total roughly around 18 to 20 hrs of work.”

Matthew says of his friend’s Homer Simpson tattoo
This image is from the episode where Homer meets his mother for the first time after Homer fakes his own death. After Homer says he has a way of ruining special moments the bird lands on his head and drops the fish in his pants, leaving Homer looking dismayed.

Diane says of the quote tattoo on her rib cage
I got this tattoo when I was in New Zealand on holiday visiting my family in February 2009. My little sister snuck me to the studio in the town they live in and it cost me 1/4 what it would have been to get done in London, where I live. I’ve wanted it for a long time, my friend Morgan designed it for me. I have been in love with Narnia for as long as I can remember - this is part of the prophecy from The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe but adapted and used in the film Prince Caspian. Everytime I watch that film this line sends a shiver all down me!
