Hello World, how is everybody?
PLEASE FOLLOW THIS LINK, I WANT FEEDBACK!
I think hanging a hammock in my room was a mistake. I have lost the will to get up in the morning because of it. It is just to damn comfortable to get out of. I do NOT reccomend hanging one, it is the best thing that will happen to you, but it sucks ass getting up after a good night's sleep in one. But that's not the point of this post.
I've been considering my tattoo possibilities for some time, and I think I've narrowed it down to a few.
One, I saw this and I thought it looked awesome. I love that look, that kind of horror with all the graphic nature and gore. I know I'll hate it when I'm old, but hey, I know I'm gonna be some crazy ass grandpa who just drinks and smokes all day.
Anyways, heres the most recent add-on. I'd probably do it around my right arm, seems best.
Another, and probably my oldest idea is the concept of the inner child. I'd say I'd do it over my heart, across my chest diagonally, with a child's eyes and forehead instead of a woman's mouth, but the concept is very close. Maybe a hand pulling down one side or something. Kind of hard to describe, but here's the idea.
Another set is this whole theme of power. I've always liked the look of that fighting fish so commonly mis-interpreted. I found this picture and it inspired me to do a negative of it. I'd probably place it on my outer forearm between my wrist and elbow, so that when my arms are at my sides, the picture would be facing backwards. Anyways, I'd want to do one picture, mirrored on each arm, one fish exactly as the picture follows (well, close anyways, color concept), and the other identical fish have opposite colors. i.e. blue and white fish with red and black waves. I like the idea of the opposing forces, equally matched. Good and Evil, Right and Wrong, Yin and Yang, that whole concept. Anyways, here would be the left arm, the right would follow my second description.
Another I've been pondering is that of across my back. Like, shoulder to shoulder. What I'd want to do is (in ancient gaelic lettering) have "Unlucky Saint" across my back with celtic weave in and out and around the letters. Dolan, for those of you who dont know, means dark or defiance or misfortune, kevin signifies nobility of mind and heart, leading into sainthood. Put 'em together. I thought it would be kind of cool. Just black, nothing too fancy. I dont have any picture ideas, just think lord of the rings writing, in gaelic, but not so fancy.
Another one I've been considering is the concept of outer control, or a kind of destiny idea. I thought a voodoo doll would be sickly appropriate, paying tribute to the shadowed side of my beliefs. I found this a while ago, and I fell in love with it instantly. Give it a looksee. I'd have to do it in a different spot than this guy though.
And of course, I've gotta go old school for a few, I'm thinkin just some small black flag bars on my calf or something. Real subtle, not too noticable, but then I've also gotta do something along these lines. Have to have a jolly roger somewhere, or the idea of one. I've always loved webbing too, so this one is a nice idea, but I know its from some phsycobilly band somewhere, I just cant remember. Anyways,
Moving on to the last and more recent idea, Sarah told me about this graphic she had in one of her textbooks from MCC. Weird place to find a tattoo, but I saw it and it just hit me. If you cant tell, one of the themes of my life is opposing forces (yin and yang, good and evil, that thing again) and this just summed it up in one graphic. This one is going on my inner forearm, again mirroring each other. the same graphic, same size, no color. This is the same picture, I'm going to post it twice, one is just upside down from the other. This one is a definate.
Life
and Death
Don't mind the bad quality of the pictures, it'll look better in all black against skin.
Other than that, I dont have any more definate "ideas". I do have a few considerations, but nothing else serious. Let me know what you think or if you have any other ideas or anything.
