Ok one more post. So I had mentioned showing a few tattoo designs I was considering. This will be my first tattoo and I am extremely anal and selective of everything in my life so I have held off on getting a tattoo for years as I didn't want to get something I would one day regret. Lately I have decided I think it is time so here I am. I will be going for a Half sleeve with keeping in mind ideas to make it a full sleeve down the road and I want it all to tie in to look like nothing was an afterthouht.  

I am not a huge fan of most tattoos that I see around. Well, I like them on others but there hasn't been much that really spoke to me and something I wanted to live with. I knew I loved Nature, Anything from wood and wood grain, and Wordly items like Maps, compasses and so on. I really like forest and tree horizon scenes and I recently saw an image of a wood grain tattoo design that I really liked. The woodgrain idea I think is super unique and I will one day get something of that style. But! I think I have found the idea I really like. I am thinking of getting an image of a ship with with a compass and navigational maps in the skyline. The reason for the ship is to name it the Bona Nova which is the ship my 10xGreat Grandfather came to America on to settle in Jamestown in 1620. Later I may try to exten it to the forearm with the forrest scene or jamestown settlement scene. This would show the ship reaching land in a way. 

So here are a few pictures showing the rough idea.
