Ever since I was a child I loved the A-10 Warthog airplane, when I was thinking of getting a new tattoo, all I could think of was getting it on my body. The A-10 is the low and slow plane in the Air Force, you can damn near shoot off a wing and it will still limp home safe, it is a tank killer and a troop supporter. My dream as a child was to pilot one of these bad boys, but unfortunately it was not in the cards. I was however able to get up close and personal with one last summer, it was amazing!
I got this at Atomic Lotus Tattoo in Oklahoma City, by the über talented Frank Ready. I told him what I wanted roundabouts and he found the image and then did the illustration, then he did the amazing job of putting it on my back. I look forward to going back to him many more times for other work!

I should totally talk Amanda into this tattoo once Eily is born!
