Maybe 4 aces, Deadman's Hand or the Texas Dolly. The dead man's hand is a two-pair poker hand, namely "aces and eights". The hand gets its name from the legend of it having been the five-card-draw hand held by Wild Bill Hickok at the time of his murder (August 2, 1876). It is accepted that the hand included the aces and eights of both of the black suits; although his biographer, Joseph Rosa, says no contemporary citation for ...

Although sometimes referred to as a "lucky" symbol, or one of good fortune, dice are often featured in tattoo designs that highlight the perils of gambling, such as in "Man's Ruin". Dice are often featured with other vices, including playing cards, drugs and alcohol, guns, race horses and women of easy virtue. (1) The expression, ...

I would like to get a matched pair on my upper chest / collar bone area. The origins of the swallow tattoo go back to a ship named The Swallow. At one time, the crew of the ship had a mutiny.

I love the look of the Top Hat, Smoke, and Rose. Although there are over 200 bones in a human body, there is one skeletal segment above all others which is immediately recognized as uniquely representative of all humankind: the skull.
