Tattoos

@nameness:

Bumping an old thread with some new work.  Best pic I can get for now.  Modified quote from a Lawrence Krauss lecture.  I've seen him lecture a few times, etc.  Very interesting guy.  Not everybody's taste but I love the sentiment.  One of those things things that helps put me in my place a bit when things aren't going well, etc.  Wouldn't have curved it up so much but I already have work on my left shoulder and I'll eventually be getting my right one done.  Next up, ankles, I think.

Full quote:

"Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the
atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your
right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics:
You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded,
because the elements – the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the
things that matter for evolution and for life – weren’t created at the
beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars,
and tthe only way for them to get into your body is if those stars
were kind enough to explode. So forget Jesus. The stars died so that
you could be here today."

wow . . .

[nameness]

haha, that seems like a bad "wow".

[Geo]

nope . . . it is a very very good wow . . . see . . . wow

[nameness]

all good dude, I'm the one who has to live with it

[jbphoto23]

yeah nameness, I am. The reason I loved it is not only because I agree with that quote so much, but because I want something similar in the future. Probably not a quote but a scene portraying that.
It's mindblowing just to think about that stuff!

[nameness]

right on, it'll be interesting to see what you get.  my left arm has a couple smaller galaxies and nebulas along with an accretion disc.  my chest has a red giant on it.  needless to say i'm an astronomy & cosmology geek.

For those of you thinking about it:

Apparently it's already been done

[DougNg]

All drawn up, going to have it done as mirror images on each arm, half sleeve. Done in black on the right arm and red/purple on the left

Doing to be a marathon session on Thurs, will prob be around 10-12 hours total

[Beatle]

so good, enjoy the relaxation time…

[nameness]

right on, Doug.  can't wait to see how they turn out.  I'm not sure i could do that many hours at once.

got something done on my left side earlier this week, think I'm done for a bit.

[DougNg]

I'm not worried about how long it's going to take, I will most likely fall asleep

After my marathon tattoo session, I will most likely have my best friend perform some acupuncture on my neck as well. I have chronic pain in my neck and lower back from weight lifting and martial arts (someone tried to pull my head off in a guillotine hold after I tapped out, motherfucker) so I'm going to have LOTS of needling time on this trip!

[madmonday]

that is a mean a$$ fish.  can't wait to see how they turn out.

what you get on your side nameness???  you seem to have an affair going on with your tattoo artist at the moment 

** note to self, put pictures up in here

[nameness]

got baby girl's name.  have my son's on the other side.  if I get my ankles done it'll be the same guy, his lettering is really good.

anyone here with their inner lip done?

[Blackheart]

Nice design Doug, can't wait to see the finished piece. I was under the needle for 8 hours when I got my
Japanese thunder God done, 11 colors and to be honest my right hip hurt worse than anything due to how
I had to sit while it was being done…You'll do just fine!

Love it nameness, babies are forever.

[Giles]

A few years ago, I had my little toes amputated.  It matters not why, suffice to say the reasons were really boring.  Ever since then, when I have been walking around barefoot, I have had to answer the question, "So what happened".

I decided to stop the questions…...

[jbphoto23]

Those are great G! Hahah

[Blackheart]

Only you G! Love it!

[simonc]

Respect Giles, total respect!

[hectic]

Nice font.

[nameness]

Those are awesome.
