About a week ago I had my appointment at RedLetter1 to get my new tattoo done up. Still have another session coming up on my birthday (April 9th) so that way it’s healed up before the Back in Black event. I basically wanted the Angelo (the artist) to do his thing. My only reference was a skull, snake and roses. The reason for the skull is because I get so much shit from people about how uncool they are, yet I feel they are timeless and represent a iconic position in graphic design & art. The snake (besides being cool as hell) is to represent the ‘haters’ always there to take you down. And the roses… just a rose, ha. It’s just good symbolism. I also had BJ Betts, who is one of the top tattoo typographers out there do a couple scripts a while back. One is my kid’s names and the other is Peity (piety spelled incorrectly). Piety is in basic form, the search for perfection/purity. No one ever reaches that, so thought it was rad. So now, the debate… how much further do I go?… Kinda want more dammit, but need to wait till I have a good idea. Anyway….
