My first tattoo

check it out yo


From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were---I have not seen
As others saw---I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I lov'd, I loved alone.
Then---in my childhood---in the dawn
Of a most stormy life---was drawn
From ev'ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that 'round me roll'd
In its autumn tint of gold---
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass'd me flying by---
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.

 

Very nice!! I like it alot, and the writing is really neat, too!
Hurt I bet, though.. didn't it? Haha..

 

badass!

 

a little bit on the ribs and the hip where there's pretty much just bone..... It took some convincing with the artist to do it in that handwriting.... she wanted to be very precise but I wanted it took look like more childish handwriting

 

The childish writing looks awesome.. especially because of the theme of the poem.

 

edgar poe, very nice

 

yup yup think I will need to get some dark and gloomy picture on the otherside now

 

that would be fucking sick
do it up

 

im thinking something like this

 

that's dedication dude, but at least you picked an awesome poem

the band Green Carnation set it to music and the result is quite beautiful:

looks awesome dude, definitely like the childish hand writing. ive always wanted to get a tattoo but if i did it wouldnt be something serious, like "You're Awesome" backwards on my chest so the mirror tells me im awesome haha

 

I was thinking of getting something from a Dali painting tattooed on me before.
I like them all though, I wouldn't be able to pick which one i wanted haha

 

70 tattoos in one! it's great i love it.

 

i'm liking the whole poem thing. i've always said that if i get a tattoo it's going to be lyrics or a poem

 

Yea I love dali.... I know what ya mean.... I had always considered getting the melting clock coming down over my shoulder have on my chest half on the back....

but I never know if an artist could translate a piece as great as his shit to the body ya know???

 

Awesome im glad you got a tatoo that meant something to you

You never regret that kind

at some point i wanna get "Dont Worry, Be Happy" somewhere discrete... Good moto to live by

 

Yeah I know what ya mean.. but that does sound awesome.
I've always thought about getting these elephants somewhere on me..


I fucking love those elephants. I showed my mom this and told her what I wanted and she flipped out haha

 

those would make for a sick tattoo. you could like put them all down your back or your side on both sides of your body. i can see that coming out real nice

 

very cool now you got to do it lol

 

I would want it on my side.. but I don't know if I could get another tattoo on my side hahah. it hurt like a bitch.
