Is 1991 Vintage for a Female Back Tattoo?

Germs Manager Nicole's Back (tattoo by Jill Jordan, photo by Sebastian), originally uploaded by N.Panter.

Taken in 1991 for a Tattooed Women calender this female back tattoo combines sharp angles with swirls. It's the sharp angles that jump out at me, especially how the tattoo converges from both arms down to the small of her back.

On another note, I must apologize for my lengthy absence. Maintaining my tattoo blog is a hobby and my real job hasn't left much time lately. (I'm a web designer by trade). Maybe I'll throw in a blatent plug for the web project I'm working on when the site is launched, but until then I'll do my best to sneak in a tattoo or two when I can. I'm hoping that my 14 hour days are winding down :)

With a dark background the green dragon and red and yellow flames create strong contrast that really make this full sleeve tattoo stand out. Awesome artwork after 22 hours under the needle.
