thankyou for the compliments folks

got it done by a very talented friend of mine dulthahttp://kellegher.jalbum.net/Duke's%20Tattoos/ .....i wanted to do a piece to my grandfather (on the left) and his younger brother(right) who both fought so bravely for what they believed in....my grandfathers younger brother was the first man killed in the irish civil war in 1922....my grandfather and friends blew up a railway station and killed 10 men over the next 11 days in revenge....
lots of history.....the real meaning of family in my opinion.....

That's an amazing tattoo, even better because it means something. I want to get one, as I had a baby 9 months ago, but want something special but not sure what to get.
