Evening all, I'm looking at adding to my ink collection with a couple of aviation-based jobs. I've chosen 1 for each forearm - A4K Skyhawk, and the other a DH Mosquito. Still working out if top or side view....or silhouette/blueprint or full colour...
My tatts all have significance, and these will also be for me - The A4 being the formative years of my youth, where decisions were made that have got me to where I am today; and the Mossie which was Dad's in WW2, he flew 55 missions over Germany, and without its superior design qualities he probably wouldn't have made it back from one of them.
My original concept was just the powerplant for each one (J52/RR Merlin), but the technical detail with that was huge.
My question is: anybody else here got an aviation themed tattoos? If so, anything you'd change or done to make it better? I've googled plenty of images and I've only found 1 A4, and never seen a Mossie.
Cheers in advance!
