this festive building here in austin caught my eye partly because it's so colorful and fun, but also because i'm flirting with the notion of a tattoo for my next birthday (turning a tattoo worthy age). let's imagine that sideshow tattoo has some stellar artists on staff but wants to hire a writer as well, one who will pen words as innovative and colorful as the images they put on folks. let's say you writers are auditioning for the job with two or three of your best tattoo words or phrases. feel free to describe the art part of the tattoo as well if that helps, or you can leave the art to the artists. here's my stab at it:
-
1. old, but not past the expiration date (i imagine these words inked in small circle with my birthday numbers inside. it would look like a grocery store stamp)
-
2. oh bother (an homage to pooh bear, of course)
-
3. bluebonnet bliss (with a bouquet of flowers for the next miss texas - it might have to go on her bummy, though, b/c i'm pretty sure they're not allowed tattoos)

3.) A galaxy covering a large portion of the back with the words "We are here." in a frame with an arrow pointing within the galaxy somewhere.
4.) For one rump cheek - a recognizable moon, with craters and a slightly dark portion and the words "You are being" written along the top and the word "Mooned" written along the bottom (of moon.)
5.) (I actually knew a guy had this:) dashed line along the collar of the neck with the words "Cut along dotted line" written underneath.
