This protective stance in early ancient people became the genesis of modern men preferring this tattoo.

Tribal Elephant Tattoo

A tattoo is permanent, so you need to make certain that you choose a design that you really want. You need to choose a design that you won't want to change 5 months down the road. Therefore, you need to research several different tribal ankle tattoo designs. Do not settle for the very first one that you come across, keep on looking. Once you've found the right one, you'll know! If you find one that you like and decide to keep looking, but just don't find any that settle in your heart the way the first one did - then that's the one!
Now, on the other hand, a unique design is important. If you want something that is different and not on everyone else, then research is very necessary.
There are several different types of websites on the internet that will allow you to pay a small fee and have access to their database of tattoo images. Normally, these images are pretty unique and are not found elsewhere, or at least not in many places. In addition, you may be able to get tattoo tips and tattoo parlor reviews for the small fee that you pay. With the magnitude of information that you receive, the small fee that you pay is well worth it.



Elephant Tattoo

a tattoo enthusiast may also choose an elephant tattoo in reference to the animal's characteristics. For example, when an elephant dies, other elephants will remain beside the body for a few days as though in mourning. For some, this could be a representation of loyalty. Longevity and fidelity are also other characteristics associated with the elephant that may be used by tattoo enthusiasts when looking for the next best ink.
With elephant tattoos not as popular as other animal designs, women can be less inclined to use this particular pattern. After all, there are very few signs that suggest a feminine side to the strong and powerful beast. Males are more welcoming with this pattern because of the masculine connotation to the symbol. Since elephants are normally large in size, you will often find these tattoo designs encompassing a wide expanse of skin. Two of the most common locations for elephant tattoo include the arms and the back. However, if a good tattoo artist is capable of downsizing the symbol without lessening its quality, then you may have it inked on your wrist or ankle.

Unusual choices for a tattoo, those who choose to brandish an elephant design usually do so because of their attachment to the interpretations of the animal. Mostly, decisions leading to an elephant tattoo are based on logical, spiritual and personal reasons that go beyond its aesthetic value. For those who are contemplating using this design, then it might be best to research all the meanings that attach themselves to the elephant. Try to remember that tattoos last a long time and you must be entirely sure of your choice before proceeding.

Gnarly is the norm.


I always really like trying new stuff with wheat. This one I'm really happy with.



The original artwork for this tattoo was drawn by Michael Seiben. He does Roger Skateboards, that's the real deal.


Last god-talk at the Edge Skatepark on Pacific. I was glad to be there, at least not everyone in the room had been indoctrinated.
