Ernesto's initial 'sketch' of the design.....LOL!!!!
"The Labarum was a military standard that displayed the first two Greek letters of the word "Christ" (Greek: ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ, or Χριστός) — Chi (χ) and Rho (ρ)
It was first used by the Roman emperor Constantine when he converted to Christianity
Ernesto at work
The labarum has several 'meanings', among them being it symbolizes crucifixion; the combined letters Chi and Rho standing for chrēston, meaning "good." etc
Bringing the design to life
But i'm not quite sure why Kev got it. The official story is that it symbolizes his faith, but the true story is that he got it as a conversation-starter with the ladies......:p
The completed design....the excessive blood is because Kev was drinking before and during the making of this tattoo :p
The tattoo artist was Ernesto Kalum, who has been extensively featured on this blog. And as expected, Kev was very satisfied with his work and is planning on going back and getting another tattoo done.

That is a very unique design...hardly see that on a lot of people
Yes my thoughts exactly!
You see soo many tribals or other 'popular' designs practically everywhere that it really loses its appeal
Thanks for visiting
