white areas represents my skin. This would be a band around my right bicep.
I originally wanted a celtic armband (being that i'm 75% irish, and play celtic jigs on the violin) but was looking for something unique, and couldn't find any i particularly liked. then i saw a guy with a bass cleff tattooed on his arm, which gave me the idea of using the treble cleff as the basis for a pattern. Music has always been and will always be a huge part of my life so it seemed a great way to make the tattoo personal. I tried to incorporate lines and shapes in a celtic-ish manner.
I've never gotten a tattoo before, and don't take the decision lightly. I will continue to contemplate, while working out ('cause i gotta have buff arms if i'm gonna have a tattoo there) and if i still want the tattoo by this summer, i'll get it while i'm home in Portland. |
