it took me about six years to find a good mando symbol to have tatted on my arm. looking through books and pictures and having people draw it for me just didn't do it for me. it being there for the rest of my life made me wait for just the right one. about eight or nine years ago Roseart made a star wars temporary tattoo set and there it was. back then there was nothing that big and or that accurate to take a picture of.the next day i went to get prices for it all around town. San Diego being a Navy/Marine town we have lots of shops but they all at about $80 to $100 for a very simple tat that was just to much. that afternoon a drove to a friends house that knew a tattoo artist and he did it for $40.00 . its about 2 1/2" tall, i think it looks great and i told Lefty " tattoo artist" my story and he said that most people regret getting tats but since i took so long and had to do what i did to get just what i wanted it would feel like i had it forever and will never regret it.so far its been good and would feel naked without it. i hope i don't get to be 80 but if i do there will be other thing to worry about. "depends", no hair, deaf, and senile. at least if someone sees me with it they will think i was cool back in my days...
