RE: I Can’t Believe Anything They Say.......
Yeah, but why the man o’ war? Why not a jelly fish or something? I didn’t even know there was a difference but you did and I want to know why… otherwise great entry Mr. Days! I like all of your tattoos for the record.
I didn’t have any particular sea life in mind, other than the octopus. But I only had that in mind because that’s how I shopped for my artist, it took me 5 years to find Noelin. I would walk in tattoo shops wherever I was working around the US, “can you do an octopus?” Sometimes they couldn’t, most times they had previously and I was able to check out their designs.
I finally found the artist when I was in Vegas in 2008. The octopus was first and then it was marine life after that, nothing specific, we would go back and forth with ideas. About the third or fourth sitting, we were working on my hand. He showed me a magazine, remember those things? Yeah, I still had a flip phone back then (an LG with the full keyboard), anyway.. magazine.. there was a (one) picture of a man o’ war, “check this out.” It looked huge on the page! It was all bright with pinks and reds, blues, I loved it. So, within the next couple of visits he free handed those on me. I meant to mention how bad it hurt, did you get that?
Thank you for asking beautifullest, I guess I should’ve explained the why.
iheartu all the time @puravidaville.
Thank you for explaining! That’s a cool story all on its own.
