This is a sikh religous symbol called the 'Khanda', with two lions on each side and an eagle on top with two flags. A sikh customer wanted me to design the ultimate 'Khanda Tattoo'.

But just a word of warning to anyone wishing to get this design done as a tattoo, unless you are of the 'SIKH' faith then don't. As the middle symbol is a religous sikh symbol, like the cross is for christians. So would offend anyone from the sikh faith who saw anyone with it, who are not sikh. But if you want to change the symbol to something else and use the rest, i have no problem with that.

Right now i have only done it in black and white in a bic pen. But because i also like it and i am sikh, i have decided at some point to redo it in full colour and if it is any good to then donate the colour one to my local temple.

My customer has not got it done yet but is waiting to bulk up before he gets it done. As this tattoo will wrap around his arm on the bicep area. And i am hoping that when he flexes his muscles the lions mouths will look like they are opening and roaring.

The drawing is done on a slighlty smaller A3 cartridge paper, using a 'fine bic pen'.
