do the diving bird, first, and, then, when you get tired of/embarrassed by it, you can tattoo an open-armed aye-aye, beneath it, with a tear in its eye, readying itself to cradle.

Actually, I'd probably want this pic of him/her with the umbrella.

Boohoo, I just found out my video copy of Totoro isn't working anymore! I haven't had a VCR for a few years, though. Nor a TV set. But I could've watched it at a friends place. Boohoo!

I have the bootleg Ghibli DVD boxset. watching it is like getting a handjob from God

diving cuckoo Vs. diving aye-aye

five months pass...

Got new tattoo as part of my Christmas from Kev. I'm really really pleased with it. Been contemplating this design for ages (kokopelli) and felt that the time was right.

He's a wee bit inflammed just now, doesn't help that my t-shirt keeps sticking to him mind. I wish I had a scanner to show everybody!

― Rumpy Pumpkin (rumpypumpkin), Monday, 29 November 2004 12:25 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, and Kev got one too - an egyptian interpretation of a stork. It's like a magic eye poster trying to figure out what it is.

Kokopelli - fertility
Stork - babies

Spot a pattern?!

aye-aye - eternal love

two years pass...

I have just booked my appointment for my first (and probably only ever) tattoo. I went in and arranged it but didn't have the money on me for the deposit. When I came back the guy asked me what price we'd agree on; I told him i didn't remember (even though I did). The receptionist asked the artiste again and ended up accidentally knocking twenty quid off.

It's gonna hurt like fuck innit?

― Uptoeleven, Saturday, 14 April 2007 16:16 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't actually want one, but I think I'd pick something geeky/nerdy like this:

that's what they always say. apparently once you crossed the line, you'll be getting more. :-)

― stevienixed, Saturday, 14 April 2007 17:39 (seventeen years ago) link

I have a masochistic side so I wouldn't rule it out. This one has been five years in coming though so we'll see. I also have an abundance of scars that I haven't paid for.

― Uptoeleven, Saturday, 14 April 2007 17:59 (seventeen years ago) link

I have been planning for four years to get one of an ampersand. Maybe this summer or fall...I finally found a high-quality shop, anyway.

― Abbott, Saturday, 14 April 2007 18:43 (seventeen years ago) link

I am currently deciding whether or not to get another one. If I do, it will be this:

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c287/expatrica/glad3.jpg

I'd want it exactly like that with the black square background, probably on one of my shoulderblades. We'll see.

― ENBB, Sunday, 15 April 2007 00:29 (seventeen years ago) link

If I were ever to get a tattoo it would have to be something totally fucking cheesy and vulgar, like a naked woman holding a python standing on a flaming skull.

Image is not coming up for me.

I am achieving AMPERSAND TAT in August on a trip to Albuquerque.

― Abbott, Thursday, 3 May 2007 23:44 (sixteen years ago) link

i'm thinking either this:

(think it means 'strength')

or something with more of a tribal vibe like this:

i think the chinese one is classier though

Wait, no, the frame before it. The first one where all four hooves leave the ground.

I was thinking abt getting a USB symbol triton thingding on my wrist, parallel t my arm & w/the prongs right above the palm of my hand. However, I'm worried I'd have to 'splain it to THE YUNGUNS of the future for the rest of my life.

I still want:

No idea where, though.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 4 May 2007 10:10 (sixteen years ago) link

That's really interesting. The whole thing including the square or just the triangle and the star?

And what is it/where does it come from?

― Uptoeleven, Friday, 4 May 2007 10:16 (sixteen years ago) link

Probably the silver bit in a dark colour (pyramid and antenna) with skin replacing the black bit. It's the Spacemen 3 logo - I know, band logos, really stupid, but it is such an interesting design in many other ways - triangle/star symbolism etc.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 4 May 2007 10:19 (sixteen years ago) link

I knewed I recognized it from somewhere. I'm not sure where I would suggest locating it. I was originally gonna get mine on my lower back, mainly due to the symmetry of it and that would probably work for yours, but that is the so-called "tramp stamp" location innit? Even if the design is not at all one of them.

Side of the foot maybe?

― Uptoeleven, Friday, 4 May 2007 10:23 (sixteen years ago) link

Speaking of which a friend of mine recently had one done there. It's a cartoon of a teapot pouring tea into a cup. She was drunk and on K at the time.

― Uptoeleven, Friday, 4 May 2007 10:23 (sixteen years ago) link

creme, are you either Chinese or, um, Celtic or Maori or something?

― Mark C, Friday, 4 May 2007 10:26 (sixteen years ago) link

I like the idea of having it somewhere not necessarily exposed unless I choose to (working in a corporate environment and all). My current tat is on the left upper arm, above the t-shirt sleeve line, but bloody hell, it's impossible to get girls shirts that aren't all cap sleeves these days.

Is yours on the inner or outer side of your leg?

I like the idea of tats as slightly hidden, that a flash of them is like some kind of hidden knowledge.

I'd love to get the S3 thing on the nape of my neck, just below the hairline, but daren't. I want it somewhere *I* can see it, though. So perhaps side of foot would be good.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 4 May 2007 10:28 (sixteen years ago) link

Outside of my leg. It had to be somewhere broad enough to accomodate so much poetry. Your point about being slightly hidden is a nice one and on reflection perhaps the inside would have been better. too late now.

i'm not supposed to expose it to UV for 4-6 weeks which means I can't wear shorts. sucks. although, i don't mind the idea of it fading a bit and looking slightly less fresh. wish my bleedin' hairs would grow back though.

― Uptoeleven, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:55 (sixteen years ago) link

I'd prefer a picture of a hot dog bun, but the word "friday" in it instead of a hot dog. And a big "X" through it. NO HOT DOG BUNS ON FRIDAYS.
