I've shared my ideas before, but heres more:
Non-music
-Nature stuff/Frog and the Scorpion fable (thigh piece or worked into a full nature sleeve)
-The most beautiful suicide BNW photo (side)
-zen circle (foot)
-some sort of war scene with people troops parachuting in on nooses (black and red, trash polka style)
-something exploding into birds
-geometric, Escher, and Dali inspired work
-Dark fairy tale stuff
-Imagery from Florence and the Machine: sacrificing a lamb to the sun, a woman wearing a wolf mask, storms/saints, symbols for strangeness and charms quarks, "i cant help but pull the earth around me, to make my bed", virginia woolf walking into the river, and seven devils (Sleeve - still tossing around ideas)
-Imagery from Hallelujah:
Quote:
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
|
-None Shall Pass heart from Aesop Rock (chest piece, duh)
-A few Sage Francis quotes I tossed around:
"I dont have a god complex, you got a simple god"
"I'm not love sick, your sick idea of love would kill me"
Also, maybe an anchor somewhere on my skull for "but you dropped anchor in a place where dreams go to die"
-Kendra Morris songs:
Banshee - Imagery of the following lyrics
Quote:
Loud was the sound of the birds when they landed in spite of
Noise from the boys with the rocks in their fists
Looking to bring a man down to the bottom of a thousand ton well
One tiny push send that man into hell
+
Hail to the mother
Tell your brother, your friends
Can't lock your doors 'cause she's already in
Dressed all in black with a staff in her fist
She wails to her hounds
Sink their fangs with a kiss
|
Epilogue - more imagery
Quote:
Thomas slid to limbo on an iceberg
Got the sniffles boom boom snap
Did the two step til he had
A pulse that petered out
Like blinking lights
On christmas trees
|
-Laura Marling Captain and The Hourglass: portrait of an old captain mixed with an hour glass near its end (some sort of transparent style overlay of the two)
I have zero tattoos but think about this a lot. I dont have the money right now, who knows if ill ever get them, but the thought of it is nice. I'll just keep adding to my list of music with sweet imagery.
Definitely NO Japanese, maybe some traditional cause its kinda growing on me
