I recently visited my brother in jail where he asked "Are you staying out of trouble?" to which I replied "Dude, I just learned how to knit." These are my 20's.

i took some pictures of the other tattoos i got recently. a math equation and a poem

i have changed, SO MUCH in the last 5 months. of course i've been in jail surrounded by criminals and addicts for the last 5 months. they say if you hang around a barber shop, you're bound to get a hair cut. it's true. i don't even know anymore.

i hope you're happy.

...i've missed so much. i don't know what has happened or what is going on. i hate being depressed.

just look at me, look at me now
i'm a fake
i'm a fake
i'm a fake

i miss...the old me. the one that gave a fuck

My first day at MAC went pretty well. I worked really hard but it felt good. I almost forgot how much I like being productive at work. I met some nice people and it seemed like I did my part. However, next time I will be sure to not go in on four hours of sleep and a double shot espresso. There is just no replacement for sleep sometimes.

The dates for tour are starting to come together. There are still a few lingering dates that aren't working out but I'm sure something will happen. Sometimes I feel like this city is suffocating me and I will be happy to get out for awhile. I'm really excited to see Iowa friends again too.

Also, I'm still having the same nightmare pretty routinely. I'm getting a little better at pushing them away though.

I want a tattoo in the style of Alex Pardee of an androgynous-y skateboarder with the quote "Love Hurts" 3/4 sleeve, left arm. No idea who would be a good tattoo artist for this. Any ideas?

If you're unfamiliar with Alex Pardee follow the cut:

Going to hang out with an oooooooold friend tonight. Apparently she has been mad at me for 6 years or so for blowing her off last time we saw each other. I have to admit, I'm curious to see how this goes.


On a completely unrelated note, I'm wearing a shirt right now that I haven't able to wear for two years.

Hi all,

I just joined, and I have a question and some (not-very-good-taken-myself-one-handed) pics of three of my tattoos (they are far sharper and cleaner than they appear). ( Below the cut... )

I'm getting another next week, a more stylised Beatrix Potter type mouse, with some flowers and vines (my first tattoo in colour!!), on the inside of my left upper arm, and I've decided to turn the soon-to-be-two mice on my left arm into a half-sleeve of mice! I've been working on some rough designs, but there is one question I've not been able to find the answer to: Should a half-sleeve include/cover the armpit? Or is it acceptable to leave that area blank?

Thank you for your help!

Thank you friends that have put up with me and supported me through all of this. I was a big ball of stress today trying to make sure everything went smoothly and you all helped make everything wonderful.

You could paint yourself a picture
and hang it on your wall
I bet there's a lot of folks
who would stand in line
to stare at in awe
Clever metaphors, colored deep and coarse
so you won't have to waste your breath
But would it really say anything
that you couldn't say yourself?

Does anyone have any tattoos of chalices and/or swords/daggers? Preferably together, such as "the great rite" in Wicca. I'm exchanging emails with my future tattooist working on drawings, but I'd like to get some more ideas of different ways chalices and daggers can look in tattoos.. although I doubt many people have chalice tattoos.. ): But if anyone does or knows of any good pictures, I'd love to see them! Thanks!

There is something I need right now but I can't really place what it is. I feel like I'm falling apart at the seams and I'm getting really tired of always trying to do the right thing.

I spent most of the weekend at home, except for Thanksgiving with the family, and a few other scattered hang-outs here and there. I got two of the walls in my room painted, and should hopefully have the rest finished this coming weekend. I watched a ton of movies, and napped more than I have in a long time. It was nice. Just me and my imagination getting some much needed alone time.

i now have five pink elephants dancing in a circle around my leg, blowing bubbles out their trunks :)
inspired by a scene in fantasia. too bad i only have a photobooth photo of it right now.

well thanks to the advice on my last post im deciding to hold off on the flower tattoo now im working on a couple of other ones which i will get when i finally get a job again and some money.
All i need is a little advice about placement mainly.

Some back story: ever since i can remember i have held my breath going through tunnels and making wishes (if your familiar with that game at all) i viewed and still do view wishing as a little ray of sunlight in my life. Things go to shit quite frequently but the fact that you have complete power over what you wish and nothing can limit that gives me hope and happiness. It sounds weird i know. Also the fact that its a private thing, i feel its the one limitless thing in my life under my power while still letting a little power go as if asking the universe to help you with what you need or want. giving in.

the Tattoo: I wanna get a tunnel (specifically the one iv been driving through basically everyday for most of my life) with the words make a wish going over the arch. but i need a little advice.
first- i cant decide if i should get it in the middle upper part of my back bellow my neck or on my upper outer thigh
second- i don't know if the lettering would look better as if it were graf on the arch of the tunnel (graffiti is also something im passionate about) or if it should be above the tunnel in some sort of cursivy fantasy type font.

Id love to hear any ideas and if you have a font id love to see it. thanks very much.

This song is called Alice's Restaurant, and it's about Alice, and the restaurant, but Alice's Restaurant is not the name of the restaurant,that's just the name of the song, and that's why I called the song Alice's Restaurant.
