Thank you note: I never thought at all that my tattoo would be this popular, and I have you all to thank for that. I've now passed 6,500 views on this, and that makes me so very happy. Thank you all again for checking it out *hugs*
Update 3-12-2009: I have noticed a couple of individuals taking interest in the line art of this piece. I do not have the line art any longer, and I do ask that anyone who desires to use this design for their own tattoo, please credit me if you post photos as it was my design. If you make money off of this design, I do desire compensation for such a thing. Please don't be thieves, because that's rather terrible.
This is my only tattoo as of now, though it's about 4 years old (got it in 2003) and needs some touch ups, its my baby. I went in the shop with the basic design (no shading details) and the tattoo artist (Injun Joe who used to work at Sin City Tattoos here in Las Vegas) did all of the beautiful detail work for me. I thought I would put it up here, though it is a collaboration, but it's something that I'm proud to have permanently in my skin. Photograph: taken by a friend of mine (Chris P.)

That is so gorgeous. I love Anubis.
