Airplane from Chuck Palahniuk’s Survivor.
Done by Alex from Brooklyn Ink. 

Done by Sue Jeiven at East River Tattoo in Brooklyn, NY. So glad I did some research before getting this done- I wanted a piece done in the engraving/woodcut style, and surprisingly I found an entire shop dedicated to that kind of detailing. Really cannot wait to go back there, best overall experience I’ve ever had.

my very first tattoo, the inspiration on the left is the patch my grandfather wore as part of the 384 bomb group during ww2, on the right is the finished product with some minor color changes to make it “pop” more. Done by Den at Tattoo Seem Bronx NY

This is my black koi fish I got in April.  I never knew my father and have struggled with that my whole life, and built up a lot of resentment towards this man that I’ve never even seen a picture of.  Black koi are father symbols, and the gold on the edges of the scales symbolize “good fortune” meaning that I believe I will one day be a better father just by knowing what I wish I had, and that while this internal struggle will never end, I’ve made my peace with it and accept that I will never know my biological father.
