A tattoo for Spiffo

[Goreripper]

Seriously, you should be riding a pushie and wearing clothes made out of hemp and have little badges with Che on them.

 

[Winmar]

That's true, comrades. And you should eat nothing but lentils and cous cous.

 

[Stonewall]

lentils and cous cous are awesome, and riding a bike is fun. Che has become a meaningless symbol, and as for hemp clothing, the question is... "is it soft and silky against my naked body?"

Spiffo, I have seen someone with a tattoo of that pic in a tattoo magazine, and it looked great, so it can be done.

 

[Spiff]

I popped into a place this afternoon that a friend recommended (she has heaps of work done so I trust her judgement). They said it would cost $400-500. Yikes. A little more than I was expecting. I shall have to have a think about it.

 

[Shannow]

It's worth paying a little extra IMHO.

Otherwise you could end up with side effects like this.

Like I said, it was cheap.

 

[Spiff]

Well, I do have a bit of money left over from my tax cheque that will cover it.

I shall think it over some more.

 

[Southy]

Go for it Spiffo, it'll be well worth it mate, but I wanna see pics when you done

 

[Spiff]

You know what's a shame? That I can't get a decent print of the pic on my printer. The swirly bit doesn't come out right. How annoyance.

 

[Southy]

Take the album to the artist mate, they'll sort it

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Looks like you might need your tax cheque for something else now hehe.

 

[Spiff]

That's what I was thinking. Do I want the tattoo, or do I want to see Maiden another four times? Hmm...

Hmm...

 

[Southy]

Get the tatt to show off at the 4 gigs

 

[Spiff]

Yeah, I'm gonna go get the tattoo. Not sure when, probably within the fortnight.

 

[Spiff]

Hmm, I just don't know how the swirly bit will work without the black background (which I don't want). Maybe I should go with a different pic (possibly this one without the poxy fist and brain).

Any suggestions?

 

[Mark]

Why not these ones?

 

[Spiff]

Nah, never liked those pics.

 

[Shannow]

or if you're really keen

I might just go with this one, without the flashing eye obviously, and with the detail that's missing from the original:

Unless the tattoo guy can do the swirly. The swirly is my only concern.

I've yet to see a good Trooper tattoo.
