Eagles are popular tattoo subjects. I suggest you go with them, but make them unique. Have a design created specifically to suite your body.

Find a great tattooer to make it a kickass tattoo.

A picture would help.

I can’t wait to see the pictures!

Nice work Dan!

Too many people stop in here after the fact, glad you got here in time.

I would find a different tattooer for the cover up.

Tegaderm is good stuff!
