I toyed with the idea of getting a coverup job on that old H-D tat that I posted earlier but then thought no, as it was done when I was a big fan of the bikes e.t.c and is part of my "biking history".
Now, if I had an ex-chicks name anywhere, that would definitely be a coverup job!
BTW, here's another of my older tattoos and although it's a bit faded now and taken with my phone, I'm sure one of the Brits or Brit expats can name this character?
Cheers,
Pikey.

20+ years old and had a few of the bikes before the fucking yuppies got hooked on the weekend warrior image bullshit.

The fucking yuppies ruined it for everybody. One of the major reasons I got out of the business. Before they came along you'd rarely find offshore glam parts in a shop (the customers parts were sent to a plating shop the way it's always been done) and you knew that more often than not the guy walking in the door knew the differance between a cresent wrench and a clutch hub puller. And you rarely had to deal with knucklehead magazine mechanics whose only claim to fame was the pristine hangar queen bike they somehow never had the time to ride.

Agree 100%. In a shop I worked for in 1993, those kind of people were greeted with "hello Mac" by my very large Panhead riding friend. When I asked him why he called some people Mac, he told me it stood for "Man's a cunt". Very apt

went to consult last night. . . i think i'm going with this as a half sleeve on my right arm.
pulling of the orange corner pieces on top, the crescent (sans the hand motif in the circles) will fit the top of my arm (deltoid) perfectly. she's going to add some sepia-esque tinting to the dress too. not gonna be cheap but it's going to look great. love the dark hair, the heavy lines around the birds, and how the subject is interacting with the viewer (unlike the other three in him "arts" series). also, this one is music which resonates with me more than the others (i.e. dance, painting, and poetry).

BUT i asked chacha (chacha.com, or you can text them questions) what do you call your leg coverd in tattoos and their reply was "a tattoo that covers a persons entire leg is called a leg sleeve"

alfonse mucha (and art nouveau, in general) is pretty much awesome. even the type styles of the era knock my socks off. i just got back from prague with lady neuro a few weeks ago and there was art nouveau architecture (like the hotel europa in wenceslas sq) all over. bonus points for my dad's fam being from prague and ostrava (though sadly, no one's left), so it has added meaning.
