Tattoo Linkage

I wrote a cool and funky post all about the tattoo I want to get when we go to QLD next week - why I chose it and the designs I was considering.

It was also about this really cool program I watched on the discovery or notional geographic channell about a tattoo shop in Miami called Miami INK. - in it a guy said something about getting tattoos to symbolise different experiences etc throughout his life ~ I kind of got what he meant and decided that although I only want a few right now, in the future I will get more to symbolise things that are important to me.

One especially cool one was a girl got the lyrics " I dont ever want to feel like I did that day, take me to the place I love, take me all the way" done on her foot - kind of using her foot as a note pad - the tattoo was to remember her brother who had killed himself 3 yrs earlier.Actually I found a link so check it out ~ HERE~ you can see images of her and the trace of the tattoo - view the video to see more.

I love the tatt & thought id think about lyrics. It also made me consider that I would actually really like, if not love to become a tattooist. Something I'll research and investigate for my journal.

Ok so now I have given up - I can't find the angel I saw three or four years ago - But this wednesday night I'm just going to have to go and pound the pavement ion surfers and go looking for it.

I've also found some of the best tattoo designs are at my favourite web place - deviantart.com
