MaY ThE InK bE wIt yOu
This page has some updating to do. I've made some additions to my ink collection. Yeah!!! It will take me awhile to get pictures of them so hold on. In July I got the old japanese symbols(3) for "lunitic" across the back of my neck. These were done in PA. In October I got my leg band finished. There is an AWSOME abstract angel done on the inside part of my leg and some krazyass lettering on the other side. I got my favorite Social Distortion song lyrics put over there, "When the angels sing". This brings my total up to 8.
My FiRst TatToo....
I got this one done in June of 99. I drew it myself on a sunny afternoon in Hicksville. It's located between my shoulder blades and is about the size of a CD case. The words you ask("If I could tell you just one thing"), what do they mean? I'll tell you this. People seem to misunderstand me, more then the basic misunderstanding of youth. When people look at me they see difference and are confused. When I look in the mirror I see my entire life, the things that have made me what I am. I see the scars on my body. I feel the pains in my bones. I can see my soul inside my own eyes. I carry the memories and sort the thoughts inside my brain. They don't. So what would I tell them? I'd tell them to know me before they pass judgement.
ThE SeQuaL...
This one I got done in July in Clarksville, TN. I recently(8/16/01) got it redone. The lines are thickened and the color has been completely refinished. This one is located on my upper chest(you can see it in the pic of me and my friends).AS IF I'M BECOMING UNTOUCHABLE-These are the words around the heart tattoo. All in black jagged gothic style lettering. What do they mean? They're from a Natalie Merchant song entitled My Skin. Listen to the song and you'll figure out what it means.

This one takes some explaining too. The cross(on my right shin)is kind of like a tribute of sorts to all the people who have been taken beyond life as we know it aka death. I love em all and miss em all greatly. They affected me quite a bit. The Pennywise sign(back side of my right leg)stands for a lot of things too, not jus' PENNYWISE, the greatest band in the world. It has a lot to do with friends and what they mean to me. The Bro Hymn song, listen to the words, just about sums it all up. The angel and Social D lyrics were inked in here too. So basically it is a collage of my life and the things that are important to me; my family, my friends, punk rock.
