    I'm curious as to why the neck is detached from the body of the instrument.

    Things could be worse. I have a friend with a tattoo of a Gibson ES 335. I think that was definitely more painful.

    **Not mando tatoo, but closely related **
    Being an industrial designer for 36 years (furniture designer currently) and fiddler/mando+guitar picker most of my life, I decided to blend the two. Golden Mean geometry was/is taught in design school and is found in nature, instruments, art and architecture and I think violins are the most beautiful of all instruments.

    I drew the scroll based on my Arnold Voigt fiddle made in 1912 (Lupot copy). It's a beautiful scroll.

    I'm not much on tattoos, but that's pretty cool. Subtle. If you didn't know what it was, you wouldn't know what it is

    This pic was sent to me by a friend who spotted it on a boardwalk somewhere in Florida. I'm not a tattoo fan, but this is pretty nice.
