Sep. 8th, 2008 06:53 pmContemplating the Doomsday Clock as my first tattoo.
I'm not being morbid or horrible, I promise.
While there I certainly do have a strange fascination with its concept and execution, it would be more of a physical representation on my body that we're not there yet.
We haven't done ourselves in and, as long as this tattoo is there, my existence and our collective existence is confirmed.
Sygil magic, innit?
The question is which of the iconic images of it:
The original, from the front of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists:

Or the "modern" version:

I'm leaning towards the former, but...
With the background? Without?
Obviously the arm wouldn't be white.
I'd also likely do it at 9 minutes to midnight, with my OCD obsession with the number three and its multiples therein.
Thoughts?
