Because I spent most of my disposable income over the years on Volvos and my record collection, I haven't really had the chance to get inked much. I have two small DIY tats on right ankle from when I was 17, and a Rush "Starman" logo on my left leg from when I was 26.

My next tattoo will be an idea that I first had at 16. A half-sleeve on my left upper arm of the Rush - Farewell to Kings album art, with the puppet king and building ruins behind him. The fact that I still think this tat would be badass and still love Rush means that I know it's a great idea ;) Even my anti-Prog punk friends think the art is cool!

What would your next ink be?
 
My niece is a tattooist in Salem, OR (Tender Heart Tattoo if you are in Salem and need to add ink). When my wife there last year, she had her do four butterflies on her ankle for our three boys and the boy we lost at 20 weeks. I've thought of getting something similar to represent my family. If I do, the oldest will be represented by deer or elk antlers as he lives to hunt. The middle will be a rubber duck since he loved them when he was little and would not go to sleep unless he was holding one. The youngest would be old fashioned V8 car emblem since he loves working on engines and things auto related. The boy we lost may be a stylized B since his name would have been Benjamin. And my wife? Probably a butterfly. Yes, I can have a butter fly tattoo. I figure the boys would be at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock with my wife in the center.
