In a few days I will be back in the tattoo shop and getting the rest of my half sleeve. I am very excited about what is to come and how it will turn out. The first part of the tattoo was phenomenal and I love the way it turned out. When it is complete it is going to be very bright (its all color) and I know it will stand out. It’s not exactly a piece that most people have ever seen before and I know that it will be something special. When I go to the pinball conventions I know people will recognize the games and that it will start a conversation.
I think what I am excited for is for them to be on my skin and a representation of who I am. Not only that but I am representing pieces of artwork. All of the games are originals and all of them have been in my family. I enjoy playing every single one and I can't wait to own my own games. I already am looking to purchase one. Just waiting for the right one at the right price. Then I can really start my own collection and expand our games.
One of the things that I am looking forward to is the ability to start a conversation. This tattoo is going to be in an area where it is very open to the public and it will be seen quite a bit. I am sure I am going to get a lot of questions and looks. I’m sure some of the things I might hear will be things about my soul and how I am sinning for getting inked (it has happened before) and all this nonsense. But despite that I will be glad to have this art piece on me.
Its family, it’s beautiful, its pinball.
