My cruise leaves tomorrow, then I'll be offline for a week. I'll catch up on what I miss when I have time, but if anything happens that I should know about right away, um, I guess, tough shit.
I've been thinking of getting a tattoo of my nieces' initials or something along those lines...I want something that is in honor of them, but not like their faces or anything. I was thinking just a small, three-letter tattoo with each of their first initials. LFB, in that order probably, for age...I'm thinking on my ankle. Nothing elaborate, but maybe a little bit of style? It's possible that one day I'll have more nieces and nephews, so I'd want something I could add to or build on if necessary...but it's unlikely that I would. Anyway, I'm not particularly artistic and have nothing really in mind beyond the basic idea, so if any of you are bored while I'm away and feel like drawing up some ideas, feel free to submit them to me.
I keep going through the photos from Falcon Ridge, and I always linger on the ones Andrea took where my dove tattoo is showing. It's the only tattoo I've got, and I just love it so fucking much. I love those pictures. I don't want to ink myself up so much that I compromise the simplicity of the dove, so if I do get an LFB tat, that'll probably be the last one. I could be convinced to get a Shantytowne tattoo of some sort, too, but I have no idea what that would be. If a design for such a thing ever happens, I imagine it would also be simple, because I'm guessing a bunch of us would get it. If any Shantytowners reading this are into that idea, feel free to submit designs for that, too. But I think we're too complicated for a simple design...thus the t-shirts :)
Here's one of Andrea's photos. That is my natural hair color...for now (it'll be white soon). I just love the way this looks. I'd want a similar simplicity for my hypothetical LFB tattoo. I'm serious about designs. I'd totally love to have a tattoo that one of my friends designed. Even if it just means picking out a font...
