Ughhh...I was hoping to do a theme pic when I got some time off, and I may still yet if they ever give me some vacation days, but since I promised a pic this week Ill post a class pic taken a year ago after a Fred bring your swords to class day. Wish we had more students at the time then we could have had more of my stuff in the pic, but people didnt feel like holding two sword.

They are nothing too spectacular. A generic tribal style band of thorns near the wrist, and a polynesian design on the upper forearm. One day Ill finish a full sleave on the left arm, but so many hobbies so little money Anyways, if I ever get some days off, Ill try and get a better pic.

Yo Federico!
Menacing pic of you and your crew! Before you think about getting inked again, you might want to check out these guys and have a traditional Filipino design done that tells your story.

That is ice on the mountain behind me. Yes it is Georgia taken on 12/20/2004
Will take another shot when it gets warmer, was 6 degrees when picture was taken.
The two bowie knives, made by Al Pendray, are wootz. One is from a 200-300 year old ingot, from Oriental Arms, while the other Bowie is made from Al Pendray's own wootz, both has his gold horseshoe around a "P" logo with the old woots also has a "B-1" on the blade, both have Ivory hilts.

Hehehe...awesome site. I take it you can guess what the full sleeve I have planned will be. Unfortunately no more room on the chest. Well one day...I just need a proper time to do it. A good tattoo should be good anting-anting as well, but that takes timing for the proper event.

Yo Spunger!
With an alibata tattoo saying "KUSOG ILLONGO" shouldn't you be holding a tenegre and a binangon instead?

Mare Rosu...NICE BOWIES!!!

Derek...you look like you just stepped off the set of LOTR...pretty cool!

MARE ROSU: Those are pretty well sized bowies and considering you ain`t a lil` dude yourself at all, those must be some hefty cleavers,Gene !
P.S. With that outfit on, you truely live up to your namesake reputation : Mare Rosu ; for those who dont know, thats Romanian for ,,The Big Red,, , so just be careful handlin` them badazz blaidz and dont get bloody red yo`self now ...
They`re superbe, by the way, state of the art, ... I bet Teddy Roosevelt himself woulve mind having them while huntin` Africa. still, the way I see with that weather you have there , youll be shootin` penguins soon in Georgia.

DEREK: Yo, Derek, is that Lord of the Abysinnians ?


ME : What do you say 'bout my giant tuna this last weekend in Ensenada, Baja Norte , MEXICO ? you say: OLEEEE !!!
