First off it's my 100th blog, and what a better topic to do it on than body art, in particular tattoo's, and my own choice of future tattoos that I will get in little over 2 years time.
Now, some people are against tattoo's, saying that you are going to disfigure yourself with them, they stick with you for life, etc etc. I have been wanting a tattoo since I was 8 years old, and I continue to want several. However, I must wait till I ma 18 till I can get one, but thats cool. I must also wait till I finish school to grow my hair out, but thats also cool. I dont mind. But the thought of having a long haired, tattoo'd man for a son is starting to scare and somewhat disappoint my mum, but I dont really care. Now onto my future tattoo's. See, I wanted most of them to be tributes to things that are important or big parts of my life. I will list them in the most likely order of getting them done.
1. My dog Tofu's actual pawprint on my top left shoulder with his name written beneath. The reason for this is that for as long as I could remembered I wanted a dog, and when I recieved one it was the happiest day of my life, and I absolutely adore my dog. I would sooner save him than some of the people I know and would call "friends".
2. The Triforce on my left hand. The Legend of Zelda is my favourite franchise and what got me into gaming. I love the series and this is my tribute to gaming and of course the legenderary franchise.
3. A bass cleff on my left wrist. Playing bass has really become my passion now, and I plan on passing it on to my future children. My first bass teacher, Malcolm, had a similar tattoo, and I feel this is an expression of how dedicated I am to my music.
4. The face of Cliff Burton as a skull on my left bicep. Cliff is my idol, he was a bass god before his time was cut short. On his right bicep he had a Misfits fiend skull tattoo'd there, so this is a tribute to my idol in a similar fashion.
5. The big one, and possibly my last one. A full right arm sleeve of Hell as I would percieve it. It will be gruesome, it will be haunting, it will be awesome. The inspiration for this came from two Slayer album covers.
Hell Awaits.
And Reign in Blood
Basically, imagine my entire arm orange and red in a similar fashion to Hell Awaits, but with more going's on, similar to Reign In Blood.
Well, what do you think of my future body art? Any disagreements with my choice to mark myself for life?
