I have wanted this as a tattoo for a long time now:



Garrett thought it was a dumb idea at first but recently realized how awesome it would be. So now I'm thinking about it a lot again. I always pictured it being on my upper arm, covered by my sleeve, so I could go, "doot doot, doot-doooooooo" and pull up my sleeve to reveal it. But then I realized I might want to fill my arms up with full sleeves and then what, etc. 

I then realized, I always wear shorts, and could put it on my thigh. FOUR places to choose from, ugh!

But I pasted the picture into this post and realized something. The background needs to be black, so it doesn't make any sense for it to go on my thigh or anywhere all by itself; it belongs in a larger, dark area. So now I know where I want it. It needs to go on my upper left arm. I was already thinking about a moon and clouds there anyway, so it could go at the tippy-top. Or, upside-down on the underside of my arm, so I could lift it to reveal.

So yay, there's that. Now I just need to set aside money for tattoos. Someday. There are so many things my money needs to go to.

You could just do a black border around the words/star? Otherwise, that's a LOT of black ink.

The plan for my left arm is a full black-and-white sleeve, so I was planning a lot up there anyway.

Also I hesitate to do anything boxy on such a flexible part of my body.

Oh - I just meant outlining the letters, not a black box. But over something else could work. You should have someone 'shop it up for you! :D

Ah. I can picture that and I don't want it that way.

I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do to finish my right arm. I want something super colorful since my left arm is mostly black/grey.

Are you going to SuperGenius? I love my artist there but my friend just got the most badass tattoo I've ever seen at Seattle Ink and Oil so I'm thinking I might stray for that arm and just have Axi SuperGenius finish my right calf.

Yeah, Thomas from SuperGenius has done all of my work except for the kanji in the tree on my left arm. He actually came up with a very nice way to surround it.

No, no new tattoos since T-Rex. :(
