Odie La Forge
Jul. 22nd, 2024 04:39 amSome things sit on my list of wanna-do tattoos for a very long time. In fact, the MC Escher clowns on my hand were originally going to be my first tattoo ever. But I had the idea in my late teens or early 20s, and didn't even get my first tattoo until I turned 30. I'm just glad I had it on the list, because I was in the shop for a consultation and couldn't come to an agreement with Jimmy about any of the other ideas I had about the back of my hand. I opened the spreadsheet on my phone and bam! We had our idea.
My first of the newest batch of tattoos is different. The idea popped into my head just a couple of months ago, but I liked it so much that I prioritized it. I'm not the first person to think of dressing Odie from Garfield up as Geordi La Forge from Star Trek: The Next Generation, but I thought of it on my own before I looked it up and saw someone else had drawn it once.
Jimmy loved the idea and did such a great job! I was so eager to share it, I grabbed a photo just after the bandage went on, before any lymph or ink could seep in. And I just realized I shared it flipped everywhere else because I took it in selfie mode. But just before posting this, I used flickr's editor to flip the image, so this is how everyone else sees it rather than how I do in the mirror.
It's on the back of my arm, in the "get comments from the person in line behind you" spot.
The bandage is off now but I'm waiting until it and the other Star Trek tattoo I got recently are both fully healed before I share them on the Star Trek Shitposting Facebook group. They'll get more views there than anywhere else. A lot more.
