James O'Barr quote.

"Things will change. You can do very little with faith. But you can do nothing without it."

this just hit me. i'm not the most religious person around. but i wouldn't call myself a faithless person either.

on another note ...

anyway, people who've known me for a while - you know i've been entertaining the thought of getting a tattoo for the longest time. i've thought of various places to put it...shoulder blade, chest, on the arm...etc. currently, i seem to be leaning towards getting a small little one on my left wrist - just on the underside and making it about the size of a regular watch strap - with the size i'm imagining, you probably wouldn't be able to see it if i wear a watch (that's the size i'm considering at the moment).

i've considered many types of designs - from some tribal designs, to chinese characters, to images i've liked - i've also considered something of "The Crow" - if you've noticed the pictures on this site - i'm somewhat of a *fan.

below are some of the designs i'm thinking about - pitch a comment on what you think would look cool?

i'm still very much toying with the idea. as such, i might not even end up ever getting one. but really, who knows? so, getting some 2 cents would be very much welcomed.

see ya'all.

oooh! tattooooooos! i've wanted one for the past eight years and i'm still procrastinating.

Symbols of The Crow is a good choice, it's such an enigma. i personally like the 'spread out crow' and the first 'crow eye' tattoos. it didn't occure to me how cool the eyes would look until i envisioned putting both wrists side by side. now that's WOAH.

lemme know when you plan on going! i would love to take pix if you don't mind...
