I need some opinions on this design for a tattoo....I fell in love with it the minute I saw it but considering the fact this would be ever so permanent I wanted to hear what others thought. I would probably get it on my lower back but thats not fully decided yet(originally I wanted to get the tattoo on my wrist but this design is a liiiiiittle ( Read more... )

So speaketh the music geek . . . silverswimfish July 22 2005, 02:40:31 UTC

Yeah for geeky music tats!!!

I like, but before you get 'er inked on you, I feel that as a SERIOUS music geek, I should point out a couple things:

1) There definitely should be a time signature (in this case 4/4)
2) There definitely should be the right amount of beats in the bar (the lower stave has 4.5 beats)
3) If you want to be pretty picky, the beats in the two staves should line up (ie. the dotted half note, which might actually be a half-eighth tie, see #2, should be lined up on beat two with the third eighth note in the top stave)
4) If you want to be REALLY picky, make sure the key signature F# in the lower stave in definitely on the F line - it's kinda creepin' up to the G space right now;
5) If you want to way pickier than you ever thought possible, no offense to the tatoo, but it's not the nicest progression I've ever seen (ii--vii--V6/5--I, or something like that).

Again, I love the plan, but sometimes I'm too geeky for my own good - I bet now you wish you hadn't asked for advice, eh?? :p

I'm just being an idiot, don't ever take me too seriously - there is totally nothing wrong with stylized music stuff - most people can't tell the difference anyway :)
