Healed but not the best pictures due to lack of a decent mirror and good lighting (as an ex-grip I always blame the lighting...) but am really happy with it. Plus the art teacher at work guessed the artist who inspired the style, which is all down to @divinemacabre
Yes it's colourful, but the colours are just as important as the icons themselves, but in a more subtle way.
Some people think tattoos are cool. People who have tattoos know that that isn't the case. This is the 2nd skin I've just peeled off my full arm sleeve. I'm now going to have a shower with my arm sticking out like I'm signalling that the bathroom is making a right turn.
Not sure finishing the tattoo while suffering from a knee injury was the best idea because now my left leg AND my right arm hurts, but it's going to look fucking amazing when it heals.
Thanks again to @divinemacabre , I promise I will take better pictures when it heals.
Have fucked my knee but not bad enough to be off work, so spending a Friday night in listening to loud music, drinking strong cider, sleep deprived and on over-the-counter painkillers, so I'm starting to see the matrix in curling tactics.
I have watched Blues Brothers so many times over my entire life, I even have a tattoo, yet I didn't clock until today who the clerk at the end was.
It's a film that keeps on giving.
So this drunk purchase arrived yesterday. Suppose I best learn how to play it... what end do I blow in?
I promise I won't play it at parties, and if you hear Wonderwall coming from it then you are legally allowed to smash it over my head.
It's about to absolutely throw it down with rain, but until then I'm enjoying the heat.
Also work week halfway point pint... usually frowned apon because it'd normally be Wednesday lunchtime, so thanks Romans for killing Jesus!
This sweary and charming film, with a focus on early 20th century women's lib, is perfect Sunday morning viewing, and the kind of film I wish I'd worked on more in my film time.
Pay day pint with @chrisgpackham2 merch and a flash of part of a tattoo that is an anarchy symbol... #KeepPoliticsOutOfSchoolsButIActuallyWorkInASchoolSoOops"
New tattoo by the amazing @divinemacabre of iconography that defines me.
Very fresh plus still another session to go, but so pleased with it. Some of the more prominent icons include:
1+2: sketching it out around my existing tattoo
3: Prodigy
4: Motown
5: Sex Pistols, cheersing drinks (a little nod to me brother), Jim Henson
6: Suffragettes, NHS, The Clash
7: Public Enemy, Atlantic records, Leicester Tigers, Blues Brothers, Asian Dub Foundation
8: Che, Rage Against the Machine, Civil Rights movement
9: England Rugby rose (including the 2 record breaking crowd numbers of the Red Roses, both of which I was there for), Ziggy Stardust
10: And if you're wondering about the style, this little guy should give you a clue. It's in a Jean-Michel Basquit style, hence the visible brush strokes and colours bleeding out of the lines.
Look, I understand what I look like and how that can scare people, but imagine this shadow looming over you. You'd be comforted and grateful, right? Right?!?
