You and me both buddy! One of these days! Maybe I can get the bounty from Coastal this fall? But that's setting the bar kind of high!

Mine was done by Rob of Xtreme Ink Tattoos in West Chester, PA www.x-tremeink.com.

The tattoo was inspired by the striper on the cover of the "On The Run" book by David DiBenedetto, minus the color.

The gill plates dont look right on the top ones. They have an oriental art style to them, which I personally don't like from a tat standpoint.

The one on tattoo's back looks the most realistic & I think the best. You have that pic in color???

A damn fine tattoo artist and fisherman and all around good guy from what I hear.
