Well it's been a few years, but I got a new tattoo. I know, you must be thinking, where do you have room ? But actually I have a little strip about 2 and a 1/2 inches wide by 7 inches on the back of each upper arm that's bare skin. Yup, I missed a few places. Anyway, a friend of mine is a REALLY good artist, (actually he's an art teacher as well) and is learning to do tattoos, so seeing as how he needs practice, and he is doing them for free... Yeah, I never let anyone practice on me before, but it turned out really good. He has a super steady hand, the thin lines are so straight it's amazing. And it came out really really nice. Maybe I'll let him do some stuff on my legs. I've been talking about starting on my legs for years now, so maybe it's time to take the plunge. I have an idea for a neat custom piece, a Sun server and monitor done graffiti style, with the motion squiggles, and bright colors, with cables flying about, little lightning bolts coming out of the cables, and hex code in a cloud floating behind it all, and maybe even a Sun logo to boot. I would get the color scheme from some old Sun postcards and ads I have saved, and see if he could draw something up. I'm thinking it would be nice filling up a whole calf, the outer side. Then on the other leg, again outer calf, I've been wanting to get Shiva and Shakti, in "the divine embrace" with some sanskrit and lotus blossoms in the background, all in black and grey. Oh, are you wondering what I got done? I got me some of that "gangsta' style" Olde English lettering in a vertical strip, starts right at the bottom of a tee shirt sleeve and goes a few inches below the elbow, five letters, it's nice and deep, deep black. I'll get someone to take a picture and I'll post it. OK, I'm fighting off the remnants of a cold that had me miserable earlier in the week, so I'm going to bed early tonight. Oh yeah, this Saturday is my youngest son Danny and my brothers' birthday. Happy Birthday Danny and G-O, you're getting old! G'nite- posted @ 10:08 PM EST [link] [Karma: -7 (+/-)]September at last... Yes, I know, I kinda' took a month off from posting, but I PROMISE to be more regular starting NOW!! So I just woke up, it's raining out, and I'm waiting for the coffee to finish brewing. Grace is upstairs half asleep, think I'll just bring our coffee up and snuggle and doze a little more. Yup, sounds like a plan. I'll fill you in on everything that's been going on a little later, like, this evening. But trust me, nothing that exciting... Thanks for being patient whilst I was on hiatus ! -Steve posted @ 10:18 AM EST [link] [Karma: -6 (+/-)] |
