this is my new tattoo. i got it today at First Amendment Tattoo Company here in the city. they were doing this promotion today through 94.7 the Buzz where, between 11:00 & 1:00, they were doing tattoos for $9.47. i got there at 9:30 & was the first in line, followed shortly after by andy & jenn. my tattoo artist was named boogy. the design is from the logo for moog synthesizers. i wanted to get something music related, not because i'm a musician or anything, just a representation of my insatiable thirst for sound lately. i figured it's better than a music note or something [that would be misleading] but not so recognizeable that it would be like i was getting a tattoo of the golden arches, etc. i got it on my forearm, just below the crease in the front of my elbow. that way it's visible when i want it to be, but can be easily concealed even if i have shirt sleeves rolled up. unfortunately, andy's plans didn't work out because they said that the design he wanted to do would take too much time & effort [to look good] for the $9.47 deal. most of the ones they had out to choose from were about the size of a quarter or smaller, & real simple. they actually told me that they would, then they wouldn't, then decided to do it anyway. i was lucky. jenn got a bass clef tattoo on her foot. all 3 of us have other tattoo plans that will hopefully be realized in the near future, but that were too big, or too intricate, etc. for today.
