Seeing as I’m a huge Prodigy fan, my first tattoo had to be the ant logo. It didn’t hurt massively, it just felt like a lot of little pin pricks, or tiny slices, which is pretty much exactly all it was!
I’ve got loads of ideas for other tattoos, but I’ll hold off for a while as I want to let this one heal and settle in first.
Jane and I would like to get kinda matching tattoos. She wants Hebrew, but I reckon Latin would be pretty awesome. Ready for a Halo reference? In the Halo 3 reveal trailer, Cortana says “I am your shield. I am your sword.” – I’d get “I am your sword” and Jane would get “I am your shield”. It’s a primal thing – men go and kill things for food, women stay at home and protect the young. It’d also be kinda like the Master Chief (sword)/Cortana (shield) dynamic. We’re both massive Halo fans, so it would be pretty cool, and it fits us so well on so many levels.
I’d like to get the Dark Angels Deathwing logo (yes, the Space Marine/Games Workshop Dark Angels): The broken sword on my right shoulder/upper arm with the wings going onto my chest and back. Not strictly the Codex version of the logo, but a more realistic version, with a fully shaded sword, and angelic wings.
Would getting a Death Eater tatto be in stupidly bad taste? I did really enjoy the Harry Potter books, and the films were alright (hey, deja vu). It’d be the basic “snake and skull” motif, but I’d like to design it myself, make it more original than the one sported by the bad guys in the films.
I’d also like to get a very subtle Doctor Who reference: Do you remember the Silence episodes? The main characters marked on their skin when they saw a Silence, because otherwise they’d forget they had seen it. I’d like to have “seen” eight Silence, if you get me. Eight is my favourite number.
See, told you I had loads of ideas! I’m sure I have more that have currently vacated my mind as well. Whether I ever get around to having them all done is another matter though.
