Hey ppl
all the observant among you will know that i have an idea for a tattoo involving the line from ILM:
"and even though your gone you still mean the world to me" and dedicate it to my uncle Brian who was klilled in a road accident back in '06
the idea has been going round in my head since then, and i'm only now starting to act on it.

at the moment its looking fairly bare and i havent got a clue what to do with it any ideas will be greatly appreciated, as will anyone who wants to take what i have allready come up with and improve it.
heres what ive got so far:

the line in the deftones font

cheers in advance

you're

Might wanna make sure you correct that before you put it on your arm permanently.

EDIT: Just realized that might have made me sound like a dick. Did not mean for that haha. Just a suggestion. Wink

Good catch though, better him find out now than later Smile

I like the idea Ian but unfortunately, I don't have any good ideas that might could add to it. Just keep thinking, you'll come up with something.

Maybe if you like the lord of the rings you can do the tattoo in a quenya font, is one of the languagues that J R R Tolkien made and is very beautiful. The font is call tengwar you can find it on the net. I have a tattoo like that myself and is very original. I have to go now but i can help you with the gramma stuff if you need it

hey ian, i think that lyric is lovely, id get it in old english style writing, i think old english looks the best as a tattoo

maybe somewhere near the lyrics have a few blackbirds flying away with some clouds by the birds?

MAKE SURE YOU USE A GOOD TATTOIST, check out his portfolio and most importantly check out his line work for lettering, and if your gona get some birds with clouds, check out his shading work and even see if hes done some nice clouds. just make sure you use a good tattoist dude, and it will come out great

cant wait to see it

thats great advice mate, thanks
theres 2 or 3 great tattoo artists in weston that my mates have been to
the bird idea is awesome and i'll seriously look into it

i cant wait to get it done but my biggest hurdle is my dad because he dosent like tattoos and its in dedication to his brother so i've somehow got to get the idea around him.
once i've done that i'll get it done hopefully it'll be on show for the october tour

i think you should just get the tattoo and show your dad and im sure he will love it, my dad does not like tattoos i used to show him when i got a new tat and he used to just tut and say your off your rocker, i dont show him anymore, i just love tattoos

another idea, just throwing it out there, you could have the lyrics in like a scroll/banner and have the blackbirds carrying it in their mouth, like flying away with it

lol
