2009 - An older commission for a tribal style raccoon tattoo.
There is symbolism of fire as well as five rings on his tail relating to the native american story of 'How Raccoon Got His Stripes'. You can read a version of the legend here: http://www.pacifier.com/~ascott/fictions/raccoon.htm

I really enjoy doing tattoo design in a variety of styles. I don't usually use this more general 'tribal' design but I really liked the results!
