Pictures

of my tattoos, to be precise. I celebrated my 20th yesterday by enduring 3 hrs and 20 minutes of pain. And that was just getting them done, not counting the rest of the day feeling tender and sore. That being said, it was totally worth it, and here they are.
The picture above is my right arm, the notes with suns for heads being the original design, with the treble clef added yesterday. If you look closely, the artist added a shadow of the original notes under the clef, making it look like 3 layers (which I like in particular).
This is my left arm, and though it doesn't show, the level of detail and effects around the treble clef are the same here. Apparently Bonita can't focus on my left arm as well as my right (she likes the right arm better anyway). Similar styling on this one, it just goes towards the back of my arm farther (which hurt like a beeotch), but I like especially how the crescents of the moons (the original tattoos) reflect the crescent of the bass clef.

Hope you like them, but if you don't, it's me that has to live with them, no one else!

mighty creative--and looks like the tats are growing tremendously. Just don't go the route of an ex-client of mine and have something put on that would really look dumb is someone can't see the whole thing. He had "dumb luck" on the back of his neck, but when he wore a shirt only "dumb" was visible. On the other hand, it wasn't too awfully inaccurate on this guy.

No comment.

Well...at least it wasn't a swastika.

easel- me too!

rake- yeah I didn't give the artist too many boundaries, so he just did some effects, and I think they turned out awesome!

jaz- agreed, and no worries, I'll make sure my dumbness is covert.

lit- well there goes my idea for the next one!... just kidding. Thanks... I guess.

Well, almost two years have passed, and you are now a working man. Have you modified your Xmas wish list into the realm of reality? Just asking 'cause I've had your present for about five months now. Will you be coming with the family during the holidays? Hope so, but I can understand if you can't tolerate that much togetherness after all this time.

Love you.
