It looks crooked (one star point is, actually) and the lighting is bad in the pic but kids, you gotta get the Cobra bless, now.

I am so in love with the cityscape and the writing on this. So. in. love.

Edit: So I'm going to add in some stuff about today...

There was a guy in the studio when I was there - he clearly worked there or knew the guys - called Craig. He knew all about Andy Hurley's tattoos. It was pretty weird. He also had a straightedge patch sewn onto his bag. He was sweet. It's just a shame he wasn't chubbier and less shaven-headed.

I had more "Oh, wow!" comments about my jumpwings, which is always nice, and I definitely recommend these guys for anyone looking for a tattooist in London. They're really friendly and laid back. My tattoo also ended up costing me £70 less than I was told, so that's definitely good.

The fact the star is a bit crooked will probably niggle at me, but it comes from my own drawing and it doesn't look crooked all the time - when I have my arm in a more natural position it hardly notices at all. I can still see myself getting pissy about it and having it fixed at some point in the future, though. Even if it is awesome.

I'm already planning the next one. "So thank your lucky stars" along my right arm, opposite my "for the scars and stories" tattoo. I might get the time tree from The Longue Duree on the left shoulder, opposite this one, as well. I think it's so pretty...

But yes. My tattoos are made of win, right now.

That is...WOW!

Good wow?

Hell yes. That is amazing.

The cityscape is cool and the shading is brilliant.

I love the cityscape so much. He adapted what's in their album cover.

I'm really not a fan of snakes but the shading is very effective. I really like the cityscape and the writing, wow. How long did it take in total?

In total, with him arsing around re-drawing it, about three hours.

And thanks. XD

I freakin love it!

Yay! :)

That turned out better than I could possibly imagine! I am so loving the cityscape; it almost makes me want to get one of Seattle somewhere. And I LOVE the lyrics you chose! ♥

*sigh* You pretty much have the coolest tattoos ever. Now I'm itching to go get another one.

Thank you, hon! XD I totally love it.

That's gorgerous.. I can't tell anything's crooked.. It might look a little like the starship is launching.. I think it's pretty badass and I like the stars inside the cobra. =)

Thanks, hon.

your tats are always made of win and everytime you post a new one, I want one even more :) (I decided I'm getting "XO" somewhere. I want it on the inside of my wrist.

did you get a chance to check out Bedussey 2?

Not yet, I haven't - you know I'll comment when I do, hon.

I want to get TWNW finished tonight if I can...

And thank you for the comment on the tattoos. I think XO is really something you could get tattooed without any danger of ever, ever regretting it - it's a good choice.

yeah, the cast for Cabaret asked me 'why XO' and I said
it's my way of commemorating this point in my life. everything's changing for me and XO is my way of paying tribute to Pete for his words and the way they've helped me and will help me in the next few years. Because trust me, I'll be listening to a LOT of FOB in the coming years when times get hard.

ps. congrats on the ficwar :) <3

Exactly - my tattoos represent things that mean a lot to me now, and I know that even if my tastes have changed, the things that meant a lot to me at the age of fourteen, ten years ago, are still things I would be proud to commemorate.

ps. Thank you omfg!

God, the cityscape and the text are just wow. I see what you mean about the star point looking a little crooked but I don't think I'd notice if I wasn't looking for it.

Thank you, hon. I hope it stays not-too-noticeable.

DUDE. YOUR TATTOO! It is seriously the coolest thing EVER. Awesome, awesome, awesome :D

Hehehe. Thanks again.

I actually want a night sky around the cobra and star... I might get that added.

It looks awesome!

Thank you!
