Patlabor is important to me.

More on that later, because I’m on vacation. For now?

Please enjoy the amazing pre-color linework that Matt Decker of Premium Tattoo laid down for my latest geek tattoo, making it 5 for 5. NOTE: My arm is curved, so Alphonse’s ear is actually way longer and Noa’s face is not as angular.

Also, I really haven’t been able to find any other Patlabor tattoos online. I may be–as I am almost certain I was with the tattoo below–the first person to have one. No matter what, I now have my two favorite shows represented on each shoulder.

Life is good.

Love,

Small previews!

I got one of my geeky tattoos touched-up and got a FABULOUS new bootleg.

HEY ARTISTS!!!

Wanna maybe make some dosh?

I’ve decided what my next tattoo—numero quarto—will be. Mostly. I have the subject, and I’d like it to be slightly different than just a dead-copy of any of the source material, so I’m asking y’all.

If you’re up for doing some loose sketching based on what I have in mind, let me know via e-mail. moxy@tmbg.org

If I totally dig your design, I’ll pay you for a full version that I can get inked onto me. Size of the piece hasn’t been decided yet, but I can’t imagine it being any bigger than 4 inches x 6 inches. Probably.

And no, I shan’t tell you what it is unless you’re interested in applying for the job. :P I will tell you that machinery is involved, but a smooth hand will be required, too.

I’m really fucking excited.

Bit of a story here.

I'm one of the executors of the estate of Michael Hart. He was the e-book guy, the founder of Project Gutenberg, and one of my best friends. That having been said, he did make me an executor, so he must have held a little malice in his heart towards me. :P

He died in September 2011, but his estate is still slowly being processed, so Nadja and I are really devoting a LOT of our lives to this endeavor right now. As such, my lovely fairyarmadillo had the idea that we should memorialize both Michael and this part of our lives with a little something he used to do.

Michael liked e-mail. He sent lots of e-mails. No, really, LOTS of e-mails. Thankfully, he knew that none of us could possibly read everything he wrote, so when there was something of grave import or in need of immediate reply, the subject line started with what he called BANG-AT-BANG, represented as !@!.

Michael was important. This estate is important. The things made and done with our arms are important. My relationship with Nadja Robot is supremely important.

Both of our wrists match now. We have <3 on the left and !@! on the right.

When we hold hands, one will be against the other.

Love is important.

What's that?

One of my body parts is on Geeky Tattoos again?

This time with

fairyarmadillo?

FUCK YEAH, INTERNET.

DOUBLE FUCK YEAH, LADYBEE!

Yesterday afternoon the oh-so-delightful katetastrophe at No Regrets gave me my first tattoo...

I look kinda like I'm trying not to pee:

If I were the kinda person who got scared...

She's got her shit all charted out...

Time to get ~~your crayons and your pencils~~ some inking on your stencils:

IMAGINE A HUNDRED THOUSAND KILLER BEES POKay it wasn't bad at all. Almost kinda nice, actually.

I love how most tattoo guns look like they were made in shop class.
And look at that batshit smile on her...

My body briefly rebels against my brain's decision to be intentionally wounded:

Tattoo - Stencil with smeared ink and blood

And in the end it's pretty fucking badass.
I hope that my geek monkeys have figured it out by now...

Tattoo - Finished Time Lord seal on my shoulder 3

So there you go. That's my new Seal of the Time Lords tattoo.

And yes, it seems that they ARE addictive. I already have several more in planning stages.

Mind you, I'll really have to save up for the back-tattoo of the Monkey King...

Smooches,

Contemplating 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?

Off to Chicago in about ten minutes, no time to answer your responses, sorry.
Mike "Captain Hairdo" Steen (pictured below) gave me new hair:

New Hair! I have less now, but it's more fabulous! Take that, Law of Conservation of...umm...Hair?:

Since people seem to like tattoo discussions, if I ever get any, this'll probably be the first:
