• DO YOU KNOW WHAT TODAY IS? IT'S NEW TATTOO DAY!!! My appointment is at four and I am OMG SO EXCITED. and I think once this one is all healed up, I'll be getting another one right away. I have two designs already sketched out - an Immaculate Heart design that I might put on my inner left arm, and one I want on the back of my neck that's a composite of various lucky symbols. and I still want to get 'kýrie, eléison' on my back across my shoulders, but I'm not sure how I want that to look yet. Hopefully this artist I'm going to is good and not overwhelmingly expensive. fiendling had went to him and liked him, and he's gotten good reviews on Yelp, so. Fingers crossed and all that.

• I'm all, 'tattoo tattoo tattoo!' now, so I think you all should tell me about your favorite tattoos (yours or other people's), or tattoos you want to get, or bad experiences you've had. yes? YES!

• In other exciting news, last night I got my art assignment for thelittlebang and OMG PEOPLE YOU HAVE NO IDEA. I'm *vibrating* with excitement over it. It's like somebody thought, "hey, let's give Cathy this awesome thing to draw...but, wait. How could we make it even *more* awesome?"

I have three tattoos planned:

1. A zipper pull at the top of my open heart surgery scar.

2. This owl on the inside of my left wrist.

3. Athena's Owl (as drawn by Dave Gibbons) at the end of Dan's essay from Watchmen on my right shoulder. (Placement cos duh...it's Athena's Owl.)

Oh man, all these tattoo ideas are awesome, I must say.

Thanks!

all of those are great ideas but, oh man, the Picasso owl is so cute! I approve of all tattoos based on art. um. which I guess, technically, is all of them, but you know what I mean!

The Picasso Owl was hanging in my parents' house when I was a kid. Maybe even in my room? I can't remember.

They swapped the art around at some point, so it's languishing under my mom's bed or the chair in her room.

She told me I could have it. :)

oh man, that is awesome! Much cooler than the Norman Rockwell plates my mom told me I could have.

I have plans tonight already, otherwise I'd say git yer skates!

Perhaps next Wednesday?

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

Next Wednesday is perfect! I'll email you Tuesday so we can work out where to meet up and all that. :D

That zipper sounds SO COOL.

[redstapler.livejournal.com]

I find it's important to have a sense of humor about one's scars.

(Especially in my case, as I'm kinda covered in the things.)

[winterweathered.livejournal.com]

I am, too! Battle wounds.
