The evolution of my "gauntlet" tattoo on my left hand and around my forearm.

I know I should've posted a photo of this actual tattoo on my skin (I've posted a peek of it earlier in the thread), but hear me out - this is actually the first time in my life I'm seeing this tattoo FLAT! :laughing

Since it's basically free-hand work in four different stages (by myself, and once by a tattoo artist) throughout my 20's - I would literally draw on my hand then head to a tattoo studio - I never had any 2D reference of the whole thing. I realized this last night, when I was trying to see if I can augment another tribal tattoo I want to get to match the strokes of my gauntlet tattoo. I then said to myself, "Wait a minute. I've never even seen my gauntlet on paper!" :laughing

First thing my brother told me too when he first saw it. However, I actually stole the idea (of where to put it) from Brad Pitt's character in the Ocean's Eleven remake.

I'll echo the bad ass statement. I'm a big fan of biomech/organic stuff, especially something unique like yours :thumbup It has a Lovecraftian feel to it.
 
Shout out to my artist Joey Armstrong @ seventh Son tattoo in SF.
(Still a newb here, brother of Norcal athlete, but I lurk on the sink daily lol) Figured I'd say what up and share my newest piece.
