"Joe's Wing Thing"

Hey Hey!
A while back I met Chris when he was working at another shop and my friend was getting a tat done and I was getting something simple done down there. Sadly he didn't do my first tattoo. After bs'ing for a while about all kinds of things about life and art and checking out that we were both into biomech and H.R. and seeing what he could do I knew that there was no one else I wanted to do mine and my wifes tattoos. My wife got a huge fairy style angel on her back, full color, and a nice 8 hour job. It looked perfect. And not long after that I turned around myself and scheduled an appointment to come down to his private studio and get the "wing thing" done as we called it when I setup the appointment. It was a pretty crazy time from him moving around, but if there is one thing that is for sure, Chris keeps to his appointments and lives up to his reputation. I live an hour away in good traffic, and a hell of a lot longer in bad traffic but it is definitely worth the travel. As for the "wing thing" (http://www.manictattoos.com/tattoos/tattoos_22052.html) there is a lot of meaning. The design was hashed out between both myself and chris and the sketches were a blast. I actually drew a full size drawing of the basic design, and he pushed it as far as you could go into a tattooable biomech'd design with all my symbolism. So I don't put anyone to sleep the short of it is the 6 wings are from a Seraphim angel, with ties to life, death, and afterlife along with love (there is a heart above the star) and a feeling of knowing there is more etc... annnnyway, I know for sure that anything I get in the future, I have only one place to go. Thanks Chris!!!
Anyway, Mr Wing Thing Joe here. I finally got sketches drawn up for my forearms. Just have to finish up some things and then bring em on by. Dunno what your schedule is now adays but I'm sure we will hook something up.
Also giving your info to this girl I work with. She has a design for her back, something crazy like a tree that kind of biomechs into the back, and something of meaning, a saying she wants in 7 languages in like a wild text...
