Well I have been walking around saying "when I turn 40 I am getting a tattoo." for some time now. I turned 40 in February and that only leaves me 5 months to get inked and I don't want to schedule the appointment until I have the design created. So I am going to make a little contest out of it and the winner will get something out of my TLV or 69 Eyes collection. Not sure what, but I have a shitload of stuff I can talk to the winner about. Guitar cases, clothes, pictures, guitar picks, etc...
If you are interested please submit the idea here or email me directly at jo@69eyes.us!
I can tell you that I DO NOT WANT a standard Ankh. Too many people have it now. I do want the initials AS somewhere on the design and I love stars and moons, but I am looking for a symbol for the initials to be around.
So what do you guys think?? Can you help me?
hugz, mt

Do you like more this Tribal-Style or something like that? And where do you want it? In my opinion the part of the body is very important because the form of the tattoo must fit to your body....

Did you see my new one, MT? I just got it done about a month ago. I think you're one of the only people who know why it's apporpriate: Feel free to think along the same lines.

I am getting in on my shoulder and I like all kinds of things Egyptian symbols, tribal style, wiccan...just looking for that one to click with me and with the initials that will make it more personal. thanks

what about kinda of like a gothic girl? its a black and grey tattoo and all you can see are her eyes and lips with fangs (the lips should be blood red) she holding a bouquet of black roses and she's hiding behind them, all you can clearly make out is the top of her black straight hair, eyes, mouth and fangs. the roses are tided with a black ribbon, tied in a bow. one of the ribbon hanging strands is longer than the other and goes out alittle bit further from the roses, infront of it in the middle of the sash is the 69 eyes ankh and you can put the name where ever you like. *feew* wow that sounds kinda complicated, but i can picture it in my mind. if u have a question just ask and let me know what you think lemme see if i can sketch hit out for you, if you like the idea

I don't want it to be that closely associated to The 69 Eyes. I love the ankh, but again, way too popular now.I was going to get an ankh with the initials around it, but that went out the window because it isn't personal enough. I waited this long, I might as well be 100% sure.

Should it be in any way related to the 69 eyes or not? ANd do you like it more with simple lines or more complicated and squiggled? (Don´t know if this word is right, my dictionary told me... )

(Don´t know if this word is right, my dictionary told me... ) Not looking for 69 Eyes. Just looking for something symbolic. Doesn't matter how complicated I am looking for a design to catch my eye. thanks!

since you're like one of the hugest rock fans i know...why not get a guitar with the neck pointin outwards towards your shoulder and the body coming down to the bottom of your shoulder blade in a diagnol position. then have a design of a black rose (thorny stem on the neck and the black bud on the body) designed onto the guitar. then where like Fender would normally go...put AS. just an extra thought...put the name of your fave song like on the top out side edge of the guitar following the form of the body...if you want ill draw it up for you and email the finnished result. **hope you like** much love JACK

Very good idea to wait for the YES THAT IS IT!! feeling, but also after you do find the yes that is it "one", put it down and don't look at for a few days or so, then bring it back out and see if you still have that same feeling, if you do it's the one, if not figure out why and modify...that way you will be soooo much happier once you get it!! And of course the right tattoo artist makes a world of difference, so definitely look at their portfolios and find their style that you like too!!! ;D ;D

That skull rocks, but what does the writing say?? thanks honey... It says "Around the World and Back". It's a line from a Depeche Mode song - World in My Eyes to be exact. I got that one done last year after being on tour for three years. It had been a hell of a ride and I wanted to celebrate my experiences. The skull is pretty much the same thing... well, you know what it is. ;D
