"Y'all wanna do the smoke but he can't buy weed"
Okay, peoples. This entry involves reader participation. In other words...make a damn reply. Even you idle readers Ukyou's never heard of; Ukyou just wants feedback.
Ukyou's been thinking about tattoos lately. Part of the thinking is trying to decide which tats to definitively get, where to put them, and what order to get them in.
That's where you kids come in. The rest of the entry will be tattoos, pictures (if handy), and placment. You kids tell Ukyou what you think.
Tattoo: Beast-of-War
Picture: Click Me
Placement: Right forearm, below shoulder (slightly below current tattoo)
Meaning: Represents the Beast-of-War, embodiment of destruction. Placement indicates meaning as "warrior-heart, askew".
Priority: Any time
Tattoo: Warren Ellis Symbol
Picture: (Can't find ANYWHERE online. Bugger all. 's the symbol in every Warren Ellis book, the three-eyed smileyface.)
Placement: Upper-back, likely on spine.
Meaning: Represents that Ukyou is a fan of Warren Ellis, especially Watchmen and Transmetropolitan. Makes good "identifying mark", given its innocuousness to those not in-the-know.
Priority: Unknown (recent idea)
Tattoo: Rockman X
Picture: (Image undecided. Will be armourless version of Rockman X, most likely in a cute/chibi design.)
Placement: Left shoulder, back.
Meaning: Represents both Ukyou's love of Rockman X, and, given its placement, how long Ukyou has been a devoted fan.
Priority: Low/Medium (must be paired with Zero)
Tattoo: Zero
Picture: (Image undecided. Will most likely be brandishing the Z-saber, in a cute/chibi design. Definitely the X-series version, not the Rockman Zero redesign.)
Placement: Right shoulder, back.
Meaning: Represents both Ukyou's love of Rockman X, and, given its placement, how long Ukyou has been a devoted fan. Slight joke that X is on the left and Zero is on the right.
Priority: Low/Medium (must be paired with X)
Tattoo: Spiral-Dansers
Picture: Click me.
Placement: Left shoulder, slightly askew (similar to current tattoo).
Meaning: Represents a Lovecraftian need for knowledge, even at the expense of one's sanity. Makes a good pair with the current tattoo.
Priority: Any time
Tattoo: Spider Jerusalem's chest-tattoo
Picture: (Can't find picture of tattoo alone. Do a Google image-search for "Spider Jerusalem"; it's the three-curving-lines that meet in a point on the pectorals.)
Placement: Chest, upper front.
Meaning: Fandom tattoo for Spider Jerusalem (and, by extension, Hunter S. Thompson). Had a particularly-memorable column devoted to discussing it specifically and tattoos in general. Looks pretty damn cool.
Priority: Low. Should get in better shape first.
Respond, yo.

Ukyou out.
