I've wanted a tat for a few years now, just working out exactly what... I really want a Haida style humpback salmon across my lower back, and a little stylized fishing fly just in front of its head... definitely in only the traditional black, white, and maybe red.
The significance is multi-fold. I studied Fisheries Management in college, went to Alaska after I graduated to work in the field, and I really enjoy fly fishing even though I suck at it and for some stupid reason all I seem to catch in New England is white suckers, lol. I've always loved the boldness of HAida art. This pic shows the style, but I would design my own.
