    Bust halves are forever...plus its a cool way to have a patriotic tattoo that pisses off the mother-in-law at the same time.

    I guess this means you'll have to start shaving your legs or at least one of them. image

    I was going to do the morgan eagle reverse, but I like the bust reverse better.

    No obverse, i prefer my womem a bit more toned and fit...although she is a hottie.

    tsacch- that's one of those water color tats, right?

    looks good to me

    and the artist that did it

    it is an above average job in fact a really nice job!!!!!!

    and what i really like about it is that it has that early 19th century look to it like it is from a bust half

    a superb piece of americana

    if you look close, I took some artistic liberty and added tail feathers...and yes some arrows are shorter......so it is probably an overton....i will try to post the real coin if i get a chance. 1812 MS 62 NGC and toning nicely.

    It is also in honor of our country and the men and women who fight and fought for us.

    Mozin, Cool man. Its a very personal belief and something that no one forces on anyone else. Its not like going to the store breaking a ten and getting coins in change....forced to accept.

    tsacch,

    I did not know the Jewish faith was against body tattoos.

    The nuns I had at Catholic school sure taught me well. We even got into trouble when we wrote on our hands using ball-point pens. The nuns used wooden paddles back in those days. I think I had my name on one.image

    A couple of my Corvette friends went on a cruise to Vancouver, B.C., about three years ago. Of course, the boys got snockered and ended up at the tattoo parlor. Both men ended up with Corvette tattoos placed just where your eagle sits. Both wives were livid.image

    You do have a nice looking Bust Half eagle on your calf. You probably should shave those legs below the knee.

    Nice Ink-
    I wouldn't get one myself, but if you like them, it is pretty good looking.
