Seeing that it is stain glass, you have to have color imo. I don't think it really even makes sense if it is in black and white. The art of stain glass isall about color and emitting light through it to make it somewhat glow. To make it where it even makes sense, you have to make that thing as colorful aspossible.

Looks alot better in real life, picture just butchered how it really looks.

I'm sure it looks good. Who did your piece? I got my first there at Adorned by Damion Ross.

Dan Santoro did my piece, really cool dude. That place is def. the spot to get a tattoo at, I wanna do a second piece already. And damn that picis so bad, the stars look all funky cause I was pulling my skin

. Atfirst I was looking at it like damn..these stars are jacked up, I stopped grabbing my skin and then it looked normal.

Color doesnt look as good on black people as it does on white ppl I'm including asians etc in this mix

Well basically, I kind of drew it out myself, but like I stated, my artist added more twist to it... it symbolizes who I am, and what I've been through.I'm pretty sure most NTers know what the Sun and 3 Stars represent

It's the symbol of the filipino flag, which is part of my culture.

The "G" in the middle of the sun is the first letter of my last name (it has always been and always will be family over everything)... and thepolynesian tribal art is actually a story (plus the fact that im also hawaiian)... it tells a little story of what I went through in my life so far, all theups & downs.

Now the reason why I placed the story on the sun-rays and stars, is because to me, the sun and stars represent light and glory... and that's what I wanted,for people to acknowledge my glory, and for myself to never be lost in the light. Basically "Turn your weaknesses into your strength... shine through thedark!"

I need NT advice....

tattoos need to mean something... buuut... what if that something KINDA SORTA collides against another belief you have.

example.
Went traveling around the world a few times for a couple years and my before my mom left she gave me the Saint Christopher Patron of Travelers coin that Ialways had on me. Superstitions of mine tell me this actually helped my luck/chance against some real sticky situations in various countries.
I want a back tattoo of the iconic pose of Saint Christopher and the 'creed' of his as a paragraph on my ribs near my heart..... but I'm really nota religious guy. Does that conflict? I don't know anything about saints or Saint Christopher or his relation to jebus or god or anything...



Is it hypocritical for me to get this tattooed even though I am openly not religious and entirely uneducated about the whole scene????
