no it was a drawing from a book called falcons of the world, I prefer to use drawings for tatts than pics as the result should be closer than they can get to a photo

nice tattoos folks,,,ive got a few,,like to get one of my redtail,
picked a book up in 2nd hand book shop in cromer,vanishing eagles,theres some lovely black n white pics,
My kinda thread.. Im planning a bop tattoo atm, have been for a while cos obviously i want to make sure ive got everything exactly how i want it before i get it done. The fav pose i found was of an aplomado falcon coming into land, which is awesome, problem is, beautiful as they are, aplos have no personal relevance to me as ive never flown one. Im guna get mine personally designed by the tattooist though, when i find the right one.

What happened to the peregrine? Saw a program ( cant remember what it was though ) with the Aplomado Falcon in it. A truly stunning bird so nice choice:supz:
