TATTOO PARLOR 1944!!! DIO

Post by RED » Wed Aug 08, 2012 7:35 am

The dio is nothing more than a couple of Marines checkin' out a Tattoo Parlor in Honolulu while on leave. I named it EDs after my late uncle who got a tattoo in Honolulu while on leave from the Navy in the late 50s early 60s. His tattoo looked alot like a Sailor Jerry tattoo---but Ill never know if it was or not. Thanks---RED---

DANG RED you did it again!!!!
That is one of the most creative dioramas I've seen!
I like the framed prints of the tats along with all the other details in the piece.
Another great story as well, different not combat but cool as hell. Uh, I think ya know
what I'm saying. :wink: It's right up there with your on-board ship dios.....showing
everyday life of our Veterans.
I love Your work man, Great stuff!

My only thing I notice is the girl. The rest is so high quality, she does not fit. I am studying the details! This is the sign of a master piece. When you can study it and still find something new!
