Immer Stärker
Monday, October 19, 2009 | the dave kim Arg. I hate that I've been working on stuff that I can't show you yet since I'm a bit of an attention whore. In the mean time, here's something I actually can show you. It's a tattoo design that I was commissioned to do.
Now when I say commissioned, I mean I did this in exchange for a corn casserole and a green bean casserole. I'm hoping I can renegotiate and get a cake too. I think I was trying to convert to the barter system when I settled on the price about a month ago.

It says ,"immer stärker" on it which means "always stronger" in German and was my personal touch to this design. Needless to say, the guy getting this on his back is of German heritage and looks like Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart or Tank Abbott so, knowing that, I'd say this should fit him pretty well. The different animal skulls represent each of his sons and are their Chinese zodiac signs. I also placed the Greek Zodiac symbols on the skulls.
That's not a 69. It's the sign for Cancer, you pervert.
On a more personal note,"immer stärker" has been my mantra to get me through these past few weeks. Although, mine is "어제보다 강한" to be more specific. This loosely translates to "stronger than yesterday" in Korean. It's weird but it motivates me to become stronger in everything I am. To become better in everything I do. You'll see this incorporated soon enough into a design for myself.
On a side note, while I only have one on my left shoulder blade, I'd like to get half sleeves on both of my arms and another on my chest. In my more sane moments, I'll agree that this might be a bit much so I'll probably settle on a half sleeve for my right arm.
Just for fun, I took the same design from above and did it in black & green which I might turn into a banner for this page (assuming I'm not lazy about it.)
