That's my buddy Keith on the left. Keith, my wife Cathy and I, and some of our friends have set up a web page about tattoos. Sometimes we talk about what motivates us to get ink, but we're not looking for common themes or ultimate truths. We think people get tattoos for all sorts of reasons.</P><p> <P>Mostly, our web page offers a lot of tattoo pictures...tattoos with lots of color as well as fine black and grey work. In many instances, the tattoos you will see here were done by well-known artists. In some instances, you'll see tattoos done by artists known only to their friends.</P><p> <P>We also have many pictures of tattoos and artists at work at the 1996 and 1997 Richmond Tattoo Conventions. And, we have a large Guest Section with many creative tattoos. <A HREF="mailto:jmh612@aol.com"> Mail me</a> if you'd like to post a picture of <I> your</I> tattoo on Tattoo Talk. Just attach it...jpg or gif files only...to your email. We've also included links to some interesting tattoo sites.</P><p> <P>We appreciate getting your feedback, too, so while you're here, please sign our guest book.</P><p><center> <b><font size=+2><font color="#ffff00">Lots of Color...</b></font><br> <a href="cathy.html">Cathy</a><br><font size=-1>See the hummingbird on her leg and the large tattoo with hummingbird on her shoulder.</font><br><a href="mike.html">Mike</a><br><font size=-1>He's got a large eagle sleeve and a struggle between good and evil on the other arm.</font><br><a href="keith.html">Keith</a><br><font size=-1>Lots of ink...dragon, jester, skullage, face, koi fish and more.</font><br> <a href="joel.html">Joel</a><br><font size=-1>See a large portfolio of work by this Northern Virginia tattoo artist.</font><br> <a href="hank.html">Hank</a><br><font size=-1>See his college rugby team tattoo.</font><br><a href="bert.html">Bert</a><br><font size=-1>Colorful skeleton ink on both legs of this artist.</font><br> <a href="susan.html">Susan</a><br><font size=-1>See her colorful seashell.</font><br> <a href="sean.html">Sean</a><br><font size=-1><i>Lots</i> of ink...skulls, demons, wolf, sexy lady, and much, much more...</font><br> <a href="nathan.html">Nathan</a><br><font size=-1>Check out the fine and colorful aquatic-theme tattoo on his arm.</font><br> <a href="kim.html">Kim</a><br><font size=-1>See the underwater scene on her ankle.</font><br> <a href="bill.html">Bill</a><br><font size=-1>Bill has a beautifully colored swallow in flight on his arm.</font><br> <a href="raf.html">Raphael</a><br><font size=-1>Check out the colorful cover-up work on Raf's arm.</font><br> <a href="cindy.html">Cindy</a><br><font size=-1>See the small panther on her lower back.</font><br> <a href="afi.html">Afi</a><br><font size=-1>He has nice ink on both upper arms.</font><br> <a href="cherl.html">Cherl</a><br><font size=-1>See her tie die bears, stars and celestial symbols.</font><p> <b><font color ="#ffff00"><font size=+2>Black and Grey Work...</b></font><br> <a href="kevin.html">Kevin</a><br><font size=-1>Tribal arm band and designs, Native American band on his ankle.</font><br><a href="seth.html">Seth</a><br><font size=-1>Celtic ink, scarab, and classy original drummer tattoo on this professional percussionist.</font><br><a href="natalie.html">Natalie</a><br> <font size=-1>See the salamander on her leg.</font><br><a href="matt.html">Matt</a><br><font size=-1>Check out Matt's dragon.</font><br><a href="brian.html">Brian</a><font size=-1><br>He's got a fine Celtic arm band, sun, and other interesting ink.</font><br> <a href="mike1.html">Mike</a><br><font size=-1>See the excellent Jerry Garcia portrait on this Dead Head's leg.</font><br> <a href="lesley.html">Lesley</a><br><font size=-1>Check out her Celtic ankle band...and more.</font><br> <a href="kelly.html">Kelly</a><br><font size=-1>See his Cat in the Hat!</font><br> <a href="sarah.html">Sarah</a><br><font size=-1>Sarah has a Celtic arm band...check it out.</font><br> <a href="beau.html">Beau</a><br><font size=-1>See his wicked chest monster, skullage, and work in progress.</font><br> <a href="carlos.html">Carlos</a><br><font size=-1>Check out his Celtic arm band.</font><p> <b><font color ="#ffff00"><font size=+2>Guest Section</b></font><br> <a href="bob.html">Bob</a><br><font size=-1>See the excellent ink on this Pennsylvania tattoo artist.</font><br><a href="wendy.html">Wendy and Kirk</a><br><font size=-1>Lots of wild and crazy ink on this Ohio couple.</font><br> <a href="tom.html">Tom</a><br><font size=-1>See some fine tattoos done by this NY tattoo artist<br>and link to his own tattoo web site.</font><br> <a href="freek.html">Freek</a><br><font size=-1>See this Dutchman's large and creative Tahitian tribal tattoos.</font><br> <a href="dan.html">Dan</a><br><font size=-1>See a portfolio of this Wisconsin tattoo artist's work.</font><br> <a href="fred.html">Fred</a><br><font size=-1>Huge piece on his leg...jungle theme with fine animals.</font><br><a href="aaron.html">Aaron</a><br><font size=-1>He's got some fine ink work on his arm.</font><br> <a href="clay.html">Clay</a><br><font size=-1>Large colorful Egyptian tattoo on his shoulder.</font><br> <a href="gloria.html">Gloria</a><br><font size=-1>See her colorful rainbow and purple rose.</font><br> <a href="katrina.html">Katrina</a><br><font size=-1>See the full outline for her large back piece...a hippocampus.</font><br><a href="paul.html">Paul</a><br><font size=-1>Check out the arm and eyeballs...Wendy did the ink work.</font><br> <a href="jim.html">Jim</a><br><font size=-1>All sorts of ink...see his guacamole.</font><br> <a href="rick.html">Rick</a><br><font size=-1>How can you hurt me?
