Re: Q #1 I'd recommend getting ahold of The Book of Tiki, by Sven Kirsten. There are TONS of amazing images in there to inspire you. Paperbacks out on Amazon still. Q#2 There's a "Search", um, thingy, up in the upper right hand corner here. Hit that, type in "tattoo" and you'll get TONS of gorgeous images. Kon-Hemsby has some nice ones on his guns :wink: .Tiki Kiliki has some eye-poppers - oh man, the list is too long. They say who their artisits were, too (both the designers and the inkers). I love the idea of the representative tattoo. Beauty and meaning. Formikahini
