Yet at the same time we go around and want to make sure we get everyone's opinion on things before we do anything And we are quick to give our opinion on other peoples thoughts or actions. Go figure.

When I feel strongly about anything, I couldn't CARE LESS about "everyone's opinion on things". I have my own opinion, and I have the right to state it. Is that a problem?
And we are quick to give our opinion on other peoples thoughts or actions. Go figure.
Go figure, WHAT, exactly? What have I missed that says I can't give my opinion on "other people's thoughts, actions", or, anything else, for that matter? This is AMERICA, my man. What about that don't you understand? We have freedoms to do those things here.
Is there something I've missed that says I can't give my opinion? What, exactly, are you trying to say about what I can think, and what I can say about it?
Jeez - the thought police are coming. I'm ready.

Trav I have a couple myself and your right about the detail... It's worth the pain to have a good tat! So many people let any inkslinger tat on em! Not me! How bout a plug for the shop and more so the artist.

I actually got this tattoo for my youngest daughter. She was born in 2000, the year of the Dragon. I did a lot of research on Dragons, and knew going in exactly what I was going to get. The pearl of wisdom (as someone mentioned) is symbolic in almost every Asian style dragon... some also might have a sword, but being as this was for my daughter, I wanted to stay away from the sword aspect...My oldest daughter was born in 1996, year of the Rat. Once the shock wears off for my wife, I am going to let her know the left arm is next, and will be a Rat...
RT: The artist was Kelly Gormley... at Addictive Ink, here in ABQ. He is from Jersey, but moved here to work. He is a pretty damn good guy, and a good artist, IMO. His prices are not cheap, $125 an hour... but, would you really want to skimp on something that will be with you forever?? If you google him, you can see some of his work... he put my arm on there right away (which I took as a compliment, seeing as he has been doing this a long time)...
Thanks again everyone for the feedback... I know I love it, but I was amazed with the detail... I
