    .....

    Well getting a new tattoo soon, I know the jist of what I want but not exactly. ("A very 'Irish' phrase" I hear you say). Just wondering are there any good links to tribal/biomech stuff. Especially for the shoulder/back area.

    I thank you....

    Thanks a mil for the prompt reply. Looking to steer clear from Giger stuff though (as good as it is!). Any other recommendations? (I don't like choosing from flash.....)

    If it's not Giger-esque stuff you're after (although he's generally regarded as doing the best bio-mech stuff), what kind of style are you thinking of?

    Bio mech galleries there for ya. There's also organic bio-mech which is basically lots of colour. I wouldn't know who to recommend for standard bio-mech but organic bio-mech maybe the lads in colour works in temple bar

    Ooh, I leave for a day and look what happens. Many thanks, really appreciate the input. (IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINPUT!)

    While I do like Gigers' art I find it hard to picture it on anywhere else but a canvas. I'm unsure about putting his work on my body. S'pose I'll just cave and get something from him eventually :D
