A Tat, A Patch or a Tattoo
You can click on these photos to embiggialize them.
I have started part two of my multi part patch. What you are looking at in the above pics is what I had done yesterday, 7.12.7. This is only the outline of a multicolored knot/armband. I’m getting the shading and color fill done on Saturday 7.22.7.
I have said many times in the past that when I got the first part of this tattoo it didn’t hurt. It was very, very uncomfortable but didn’t really hurt. Well let me tell you, dear readers, that part two hurt like hell on ice! In a little more than a week I’m going to have it finished and the artist told me that that part is going to hurt more than what he did yesterday.
If you have taken the time to look at the pics and read all this, please let me ask you a question. I am thinking of getting a barbed wire armband tat directly under this knot. Waddya’ think? Good idea or should I just go hang myself now?
Hanging. Now. It will save on further pain. Besides you know the rule of all good design. Keep it simple!
What I want to know is, what happens when you get bored of the tats?
Basic principle of good design. Less is more.
Besides if it’s pain you want, I’ll come over and rub some vegemite into your wounds.
Kewl Man!
As far as the barbed wire goes, I couldn’t tell ya. It’s your arm, you’ll be the one to have to look at it everyday, so it’s your decision. 
Suffer, baby!
BTW, the word is embiggen, not embiggialize. Embiggen is the cromulant word.
AbVan, My rope broke so I guess you’re stuck with me.
It has taken years to figure out what I want in this tat. It not something I will be bored with but instead it’ll just be there for all to see when I wear a sleeveless shirt. I have chosen the designs very carefully.
Baino, I already rubbed Mortons salt on it so i could whine and complain some more.
JD, thanks dood!
Grandad, It’s my word and I can spell it anyway I want to! I was sick of everyone using either Enlarge or Embiggen so i made my my own word. Embiggiealize, To enlarge or enbiggen a photo at Rantings Diversified. Look it up. It’s in the 1978 edition of the Random House Dictionary right inside the back cover, in pencil.
Hey – Love the knot tattoo – I don’t think the barb wire thing would go with it. Two different themes and it would make it too busy. The way it is now is Way SEXY!! Would like to see the rest of the body…any hidden tattoos??
LOVE the tatt.
I can’t believe the color is going to hurt more than the outline, mine always worked the opposite way. What colors are going to be in that armband.
And I say skip the barbwire, it’s sooo Tommy Lee, and he’s just over.
To Absolute Vanilla, I can only speak fo rmyself, but I have yet to get tired of my tatts., and at least the first one, I’ve had since I was 18.
Oh, and Brian, I love the word embiggalize. Jes’ sayin’.
