i agree waycool. my 2 favorite tats are on my back also. (not nearly as nice as shredd's). i forget that they are there. i think shredd could tell us more about his when he gets time. the location might have even more meaning. i'm pretty sure he'll be goin' shirtless to show that one off every chance he gets.

You would be correct about that. The top portion being the sea turtle represents a migration to the island. Each ring underneath signifies the journey. The first one representing a learning of the culture. The arrows representing knowledge gained. If you notice, the arrows start in the center, and come back around. The bottom ring represents living the journey. The space in the center between the spine (the reason they don't connect) represents the idea that in all aspects, the learning, knowledge, and living process is never fully complete.
