This is one of my tattoos, I used to be a graffitti tagger (but only on permitted spaces lol I was a tagger with a concience!!) in my wild child days and I got my tag tattooed. it looks faded, but it is still black, I think the flash makes it look wierd. It says MAMØ which is the two first letters in my first name and two first letters in my last name and it has a light green 'spraypainted' background. I would say it is a tiny bit bigger than 2x3 inches. I got it done at Tiki Lounge Tattoo in Nansensgade in Copenhagen by Uncle Allan.

A lot of people think this is a portrait of my parents, but it isn't. it's just a mid-century ad illustration. It could use a touch up, but I love it anyway.

Ah, a pity. I'd like to see it - perhaps you could describe it?

Hmm... it appears my other photo is not loading. It's Harold Lloyd hanging from the clock in "Safety Last". I should be getting that very soon. I'll post it.

i've read that tattoo artists do not care for customers coming in and saying "i want this exactly"...instead they like to get an idea of what the customer wants and then come up with something using their own creativness...is that true? did i make sense? lol

The guy that did mine was pretty cool about it...I'd drawn out part of the body and he designed the wings. He was just saying that it's mainly irritating when someone comes in to get a piece of flash work done that he's already put on 50 other people; A good tattoo artist should ultimately do the piece as close to your request as possible, while only offering suggestions to improve on it unless asked otherwise:]

So, this proves it, you're uncilvilised and foolish. Right? your own words.

I'm only joking :D What's changed your mind in such a short space of time?

:edit: Now that i've looked at it.. it's not even real is it?

.. Pop tarts?

Its real. I got it in a box of pop tarts. Its a symbolic representation of the goal of the Higher type of man. That is, the toaster represents earth and the materialistic, animalistic desires and wants, while the pop tart with the space helmet is the soul desiring to blast off into Space, which of course, is the celestial, or the higher world of the Divine. Pretty deep huh.

Yes, please leave this thread for the serious skin art, not your half wit jokes.

That said, back to the pop tart box you go.
