i'm clean as well...which i like, it makes me harder to identify...

Here go.



Brand new. Still a good blood orange. Will be canary yellow in a few days. Very basic. I know crosses are a dime a dozen-- doesn't bother me any. At least I won't have to answer any silly questions. More people will think that they understand what it "means".

I got some dumb tattoos when I was 16.


prison-style tattoo- it says rock.

got this on my right arm. i have a thing for suprematism and malevich's geometric shapes.

I do not have anything, I want a green motorcycle.

as for the drop-outs i knew, mostly they became either successful artists or are now running server farms for software developers and pulling down close to seven figures post-tax.

For real? Where'd you go to school?

Since everyone is posting about tattoos lately, here are my shitty ones. I don't actively regret them since I don't even notice them anymore but if I had none now I wouldn't bother getting any. With the exception of one, I got them as a bored teenager.

Shamrock on my right wrist:




Heart on the right side of my chest. Somewhere on the other side of the country is a girl with one in the exact same place. Smart idea about not getting each other's names. Especially since we'd been together for about three weeks.




This is on the left side of my chest. It's from the cover of the album Psychic Hearts. The original drawing isn't particularly well drawn but I had this painted on my bedroom wall at the time and it looked good.




Now. The Nirvana one was my first tattoo ever at 16 yrs old. The dumbass chinese symbol came a couple of years later. It means "Low Class". I think I'd gone to the tattooists that day with no ideas in mind other than getting *something* tattooed on me. Years later I decided to cover them up. I decided it would be two bars of something, about an inch thick with the middle inch saying L'ETRANGER. I could only afford part of it so I got the writing. That was 2 or 3 years ago and I still haven't had it finished.




My friend is always telling me off that I should never get the Nirvana one covered. Perhaps I'll give in to him and incorprate it into something.

I nearly got a Jawbreaker tattoo. I still sorta like JB but man am I ever glad I didn't get a tattoo at that age.

I did actually get a tattoo last time I was in NY. I was drunk off my fucking arse at a house party. Some girl did it with a hot needle and a biro. It's a little star. Whatever, I was wasted and trying to get laid. Look, someone even got a photo of it being done -



It didn't hurt because I was drunk. I did get laid, it never got infected. Hurrah! A story with a happy ending for once!
