Speaking of good stuff. Just got this yesterday. Trying to figure out what I want to get it filled with. Thinking blue of some sort.
I've been listening to NM since PoE came out, and I can safely say they'll always be my favourite band - still, wouldn't get a tattoo of a band logo ever. A tattoo is permanent and I've never found one thing I want tattooed on my body for the rest of my life, which is why I don't have any tattoos.I wonder if having listened to Nevermore for 6 years now, can I safely bet they will always be a favorite band?
If I wanted to get greedy I would have added Sanity Assassin, Sea of Possibilities, Optimist or Pessimist, Lost, All the Cowards Hide, and Who Decides.
Band tattoos.
lol.
maybe the band should just never release another album and play POE on every tour from now on .... would probably make y'all happy huh?
Being original is doing what you want to do, not doing what everybody else is not doing. In that respect you're conforming your behaviour to be the antonym of theirs, i.e, forming your original position only in relation to theirs. That's just as stupid as you accuse "them" of being.
I say you can do anything and be original, it totally depends on your reasons. In the case of tattoos, I'm sure many people think about them only superficially, and or pretentiously, but many people, myself included, consider them to be an art-form.

If, 10,000,000 years from now, aliens somehow found your body perfectly preserved in a pit of honey and greek yogurt, how would you want your body art to reflect the way you lived your life?
That's the way I've always thought of the tattoo-decision process. I'd never want to be defined by a band I listen to sometimes. I'd like to think there are bigger concepts, deeper ideas, and more important things out there that can, and should, be expressed artistically for all the archeological aliens out there to notice.
But that's just me, and who am I?
