Hey, I’ve also been thinking of that idea… except I didn’t think of having it wrap around… sounds cool, maybe have the chain of a pocket watch wrap around! The pocket watch I have in mind shows the inside gears, too. If either of you have a pic/drawing, I’d love to see it. Can you inbox it to me or post it?

Thanks!

I have wondered similarly… I think I’d feel comfortable sitting down with an artist to just talk about ideas and stuff. Is it commonplace to do so? Are artists usually open to having a “meeting” to see what he/she might be able to do and suggest before making an appointment?

That’s a good question. I’ve often wondered if I could go to an artist w/ some separate pics that could possibly be incorporated into on tat. Interested in reading comments you get.

Getting a band tat is highly risky. 1. That band will prob not be around for the longrun. 2. I always think “What happens if that band changes. Some bands totally shift their music. I wouldn’t get a band, cuz let’s say the lead singer turns out to be a douche bag… Feel sorry for anyone who might have gotten a Limp Bizkit tat back in the day LOL

There are two ideas of nothing…

1. Nothing being No matter, just space.

2. Nothing even being devoid of space, dimensions, and time itself.

The second is really difficult for us to imagine.

Anyway… I think the “Exist” you showed and the font are perfect…Just like you! 😉

What other existential ideals to you subscribe to??

B/c i heard that hitting bone is more painful. I can imagine a needing going into my muscle, and I’m fine with that, but hitting the bone kinda seems like it would be extra painful. (especially the shin bone, which is more sensitive than other bones I believe) wasn’t sure if there is a technique to avoid doing that. but thanks for replying
