I've been thinking of getting a tattoo and now that I've met my soulmate (who's married) I've decided to make certain changes in my life. I don't expect to meet anyone because I realize now I'm too eccentric and way to much of a loaner to make any girl happy. But I also know I'd like to try new things! So far the drinking alcohol part is down pat, I just got back from having more Mai Tai's and Friday I got so drunk I was barely able to walk lol
So anyways here's what I'd like to get a tattoo artist to do, something with this symbol
and then a Griffin holding it smashing it into the Earth, I'm leaning towards an abstract Griffin design like this one
I'm pretty sure I'd have this near my left upper chest, it would be something I could see when I look in the mirror. Basically that brand is from a Manga called Berserk, demons follow him through life as long as he has the brand. It's a sign he'll never be free of his pain or sorrow no matter how far he goes. Similar to myself, my life is like that in a way. Demons (of my own devising) consume and challenge me to find new ways to live.
Also the Griffin represents Griffith from Berserk, but also how there can be a shining hope in such horrible darkness but in truth that hope itself is no escape, it promises nothing but for itself. Although it might seem like you're gaining in the end you loose.
What you guys think? I've figured it might be costly, 300 or so, because I don't want it to small or big and tattoo artists charge by the hour at certain levels, but they'll also need to help me refine the design so....
Not this week or anything, but hopefully in 3 months or so when I pay off some debts etc.
