I like the Tengwar idea!
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Getting ready to have my second work done in honor of my third year of sobriety. Either going to get my date done on my wrist, in Tengwar Elven script cause I'm a dork like that, or get the stump from the Giving Tree on my upper arm. Decisions, decisions.....

Do tally marks so you can update it every year! :P

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

I would actually love a design that would let me update it annually while still looking cool.

My girlfriend have designed what will be my next tattoo. It's my guitar and I debated for a long time if I would include the name I gave her (the guitar) on the tattoo but eventually decided it might be a bad idea to tattoo a girl's name on my arm. :lol



It's supposed to go on my upper arm.
I've finally booked time for this. In three weeks, I'm gonna get my second tattoo. The tattoo artist is gonna make some small changes to make it fit better with the one I already have. I'm REALLY excited!   :metal

Tomorrow's the day! After this week from hell (ridiculously busy at work; long story), I'll be sitting for several hours tomorrow afternoon/evening for the first session on my half sleeve.

I've been pumped for this for months; I'm excited as hell and can't wait.

Ugh

It's tattoo season in our neighborhood.. My cousin's fiance, who is a tattoo artist, came down for a tattoo convention over the weekend... and now he is up with us working on my other cousin's husband's coverup, and is going to work on Panda's sleeve. I'm trying to convince my buddy to get his Majesty tat while he's here but he doesn't want to pay the $100 he would charge him. It's funny because most of the parlors around here won't even touch you for at least $125.

Also... I an back to pondering the tats I want to get. Along with my hammers from The Wall, I think I want to get the engine from the cover of Black Label Society's "The Blessed Hellride" done some day... another tat in memory of my dad...

5-hour session yesterday, pretty fucking intense. 8 hours of new work so far, probably another 3-5 to finish everything off.

Shit Drew, that thing's beastly. 

All that's left is to color the flames in the upper portion, fill the clouds around my phoenix in a lighter grey, go over the phoenix and some portions of my armband, and maybe touch up some of the grey portions, depending on how they heal.

This was easily the most intense and definitely the longest session I've ever had. 5 hours is a long-ass time to get tattooed. I'm hoping for only one more session to knock the rest out but we shall see. Plus my guy is fucking awesome and he even knocked $200 off yesterday's session price.

Booked what will hopefully be the final session for my half sleeve. Aug 23rd for another 4-5 hours should wrap it up.

Sweet. Come fall I will be getting my next one, but haven't actually decided which design yet (I have a very long list :lol). Possibly the Zappa tramp stamp. Oh yes.

Thursday I went to a tattoo shop to start the process for ink #2. Should get a sketch around Monday or Tuesday from him, and will share it... I think you guys will like.

I've stopped counting tattoos by number and instead measure by total hours in the chair. Hah.

Well, first tattoo was in the 4 to 4.5 hour range. This one will probably be similar.

I'm up to 28 total on me; 9 on my right arm, 19 on my left.
Not done yet, though. Probably thinking of adding a cap to my right shoulder and maybe...MAYBE...drawing up something to go across my shoulders on my back.
