Well, you're all graphic-y, art-y folk, plus I know at least one of you lot do, and since he was a wimp and wouldn't make this thread after I asked so nicely..
i think you'll find I said i didnt want to be branded a giant nerd!
but seening as you've started this now...
all of mine have alot more meaning than they would seem, positive reminders of good times.
first time
yes, they are the imperial and rebellion logos from star wars, and there are 6 stripes, one for each film. But in truth I wanted something to represent good and evil (with an over-ridding sense of floating perception of good and evil), average suggestion was "insert character alphabet here", and i would always reply, I'm welsh, not "blah", why would that have any relevance to me, so I picked the only thing that had good and evil (with a floating perception) that had been in my life as far back as I can remember and that was star wars.
2nd sitting
I had this done when my old band where recording our EP, any guesses on the title? Well it ended up being changed, but it is still part of the chorus of the first song we wrote.
3rd
I was asked to be a best man, I'd known the bride and groom separately for 5+years before they met and they are 2 of my best friends, super honoured to do it. this is part of the pattern on mine and the groom's waistcoat and tie
4th same thing on both arms, sorry its not a better pic.
Finishing my masters and the end of old band/beginning of the new one all seemed to go hand in hand, so I wanted to get symbols of hope at the beginning of my new life, I had a hoody with these birds on it, the artist being one of the people I always dreamt of playing with, but never got to, so I decided that these birds are reminders to keep trying for my dreams no matter what. One for my work life, one for my music life...
I'm sure there will be more as my life continues.
