Heh. I'm going to NYC again Monday. Me and Lauren, AKA
aphoticlife are going to try and get rush tickets for RENT (because its that amazing ... don't you judge me). Rush tickets are only 20.00. We'll be coming in around 11:30, probably. Gotta sign up for rush at 5:30, the lotterys at 6. We'll see what happens, but if nothing else the cities fun.
But thats not my main reason for posting.
My name is Todd, which means Fox (in English). I have been considering my first tattoo for quite a long time now, and while I've known the location for a long time (inside left wrist - where my sister got hers and where it can be covered with a watch (yes I know it will hurt like hell.)) What to get was always a topic I couldn't become firm on. But I've decided on a fox, mainly for the reason above, but also because outside of the christian fox = devil symbolism, the fox is symbolically known for: wit, cunning, quick-mindedness, and wisdom. It is also a protective symbol. (I do my research, damnit.)
I'm not sure where I'm gonna get it done, but I want to do it soon. I'll obviously do some research here too. I'm working on finding/ modifying a design I like. I wanted either a whole fox in a circle, something simple but with vague detail. Definetly black and white. Either that or just the head. It's not going to be very big, or complex ... but its my first one. I've been looking around the internet getting ideas, but I'd kind've like it to be original. (Doesn't everyone?)
Based on the design of
this. (traced for the most part, I can't draw ... believe me, I've tried.:
I filled in a neckline and made this (ignore the flow part .. I got bored on the train and wrote that in)
I kind've like it... but not sure I see it going well on the wrist... opinions? I've considered giving in on the wrist idea, but I like that I can cover it with a watch if I have to. I don't know why. It's going to be smaller than this, probably somewhere between nickel and dollar coin size. It's also going to be cleaner. (obviously I would email the artist and ask her permission/if she minded) It's growing on me ... but I'm still looking around.
EDIT: Thanks for help from everyone. I've now got an amazing design made by
viech that I love, and some shops to look into. yay.
