Tattoo You

Not everyone be all that interested in the adventures of an anthropomorphic amphibian, Me understands that.
Me just needed some time to get me shit together, so me made the story a lot longer than it had to be.
Me were way too busy to let the Monster come out and play, but now the weekend be here and Mrs. Monster are sleepin in, so me has a few hours on this quiet Sunday mornin to drink a pot or two of coffee, smoke a couple 'o dozen cigarettes and tell you of the things that be ruminating in Me pea-sized brain.


There be quite a number of posts recently that be dealin with the subject of body art.
Body art? WTF? When did we start callin this stuff body art. TATTOOS, people; Tats, Irizumi or just plain 'ol Ink, but please, not body art.

People be wantin them and all fer different reasons. I got some, but now that it seems like everyone has them me tends to keep em covered to avoid some fairly inane questions or pompous critques about style, size and placement. Me ain't jokin about this. People do talk about the type of needles used and the depth of the inking and all sorts of moronic shit.


This here be one of mine. Me is wearin' a chain with a pendant that has the same design.
The fish bone pendant was hand made for a select group of folks and none of us know each other.
We five are connected to one another by the guy who designed and gave us the pendants.
Me ain't ever seen someone with the same fish bone pendant, but Me has hope that someday there will be a serendipitous occurrence and Me find someone else who possesses the same gift.

Me no encyclopedia. Get it?

How cool would it be to meet hte other 4 that have the other pendants...

I am getting a tattoo soon, and I agree it is a tat, not body art.

Karyn said...

I'm the only person left alive without ink.

That's right, I said INK.

That's what we call it here in my corner of the world. Then again we say lots of shit, so don't go by me.

Cool tho- having the pendant and not knowing the others. Makes me wanta do something similar. Feh. Too much organization required, methinks.

But way cool.

Karyn said...

Er - I'm the only living person over 18 without ink. That's what I meant to write. Sweet merciful crap it's been a long day. I can't believe it's Sunday morning for you already...

Karyn said...

DAMN IT. What is wrong with my fingers -

IT FEELS.

LIKE I. AM THE ONLY PERSON LEFT OVER THE AGE OF 18 WHO DOES NOT ALSO POSSESS INK!

If that's wrong too, sod it, I'm going to bed.

1. I have no tatoos but have given thought to getting one... I have been 'thinking' about it for about 18 months now. As the anniversary of my brother, father in law and Mothers death approaches it makes me want one more. Someone told me not to get one associated with pain and sadness though, so I have held off. I like your fishbone as it has significance and is different. I was thinking about 3 small stars... but then placement is another issue... idk where I would put it that it wouldnt look funny with clothes, look slutty or worse like I was an old woman trying to be young! lol

2. How did you come to know the fishbone designer that gave you and the fabulous 4 the pendant? Can you ask him for details on the others? How about putting a photo of it on flickr or even searching flickr? These kinds of mysteries totally get my juices going! I would be searching all the time! lol Oddly enough, I was in Croatia and found a fishbone necklace! Its silver on a leather cord. I got it for my son! It looks very similar to yours only its more uniform in shape.

3. Pots of coffee? many cigarettes? a sleeping Mrs? All things that made me wonder! Ohhhh and the comment about having to cross the pond for your reunion... where the heck did you go to high school? lol

Helene said...

ohhh I wrote a book... sorry! lol

Aza said...

I totally dig the story behind the color!

Mighty Dyckerson said...

Me have a tattoo of a Slinky wrapped around me schlong. Me has lots of fun watching it when me gets aroused.

leelee said...

no ink on this gal over 18 either...not planning on one neither..wait...do freckles count?

tfg said...

I have a W tattooed on each butt cheek, so that it spells out WOW. It's also very versatile. On Mother's Day, I can stand on my head and it spells out MOM.

Kate~ Last me ever heard from Mr. Fishbone were a post card from Israel saying that he'd just finished he tour of duty and were heading back to the U.S. Then nothing. Bupkis. Zip. He just gone and dissapeared. Me thinks he be workin for the Mossad.

Aza~ Chicken soup.

Mr.Dyykerson~ Do you hold it in each hand and make it go back and forth?

leelee~ Freckles do count. Me would love to count yours.

tfg~ Me butt be so damned big that it would only ever spell

W )( W

I never wanted a tattoo. Then when I got breast cancer, they tattoed me right between my boobs so they could line me up on their radiation machine. Now, I'm all indignant about it. Tats are big here in the San Francisco area, so occassionally someone who doesn't know me very well will start spouting off about somebody's tattoo. I wheel on them with "I got a tattoo right between my hooters." Even my father-in-law asked me if I had a tattoo, figuring everyone from California must. I told him "yep" and offered no explanation. I wonder what the FBI report on me would look like: Distingishing Marks: One tiny tat right between her breasts. Ha

My man has a Dr. Pepper tattoo. Thing is, he's not the only guy he knows with a Dr. Pepper tat (and no, they aren't the same image).

The Grunt said...

Cool tat! You don't have to kill the person with the same thing as you when you finally meet them, do you? I hope it isn't like "The Highlander".

I have no ink. My grand pappy had 'em then got them grafted off. He said it hurt like a son of a bitch to get rid of them that way. No shit!

Scary Monster said...

Corn Dog~ At least you didn't get the Squeaky Fromm X on the forehead.

lbb~ Me would freak if me ever saw anyone with a similar tattoo. That's why me thinks popular icons are a no no.

Grunt~ I don't think anyone of the other people got ink, just the pendant.
There is a booming business in tattoo removal. It costs more to get rid of 'em than to get 'em.

stomp.
