This weekend I took a step further in crafting what will eventually be my music tribute sleeve. Check it out, maybe you'll recognize the image:




in relation to 1999:


with a little bit of Panic:

Prince nutters...

I have a beautiful -sign pendant made of silver that a friend gave to me as a present.

Wow.
All i have to say is this.
You're taking a HUGE risk by covering yourself with band/artist tattoos.
That's right behind getting a gf/wife's name.

You better hope you like Prince for the rest of your life and that he does nothing to change your mind.

That's pretty cool, Chris.

Love it!!

It sooooo suits you.

I like it very much!!! Beautiful sign...

And even if you ever going to hate prince... it represents a great part of your life <-- I wrote that down a little for ButterscotchPimp too

I love it!

Thats seriously cool. I wanna get one like that, where'd you get the template for it?

Cool!!!

:yes:

I like


so... any ideas on what's going to fill up the in-between spaces yet? Is the entire sleeve going to be Prince related? Flowers? Music notes? Animals?

I know! I fear running into Prince on Hollywood Blvd. and him telling his bodyguard to confiscate my arm! Living on the edge! This weekend I saw the last 2 Panic shows on the Honda Civic Tour, just as I saw the first 2 in April. On the first leg 2 other friends and I all got a tattoo, so we decided to close out the tour with another. I got the template from a gallery at an independent and unofficial Prince fan community site That's what I took in, knowing I wanted it bigger than the print out I had. The artist ran it at 25%, I said perfect and there it is! The majority of the work I'm doing will be black. At the end of it all, I'll probably redo the colors in 1999 so it pops again as the center point.

For some people that's true. For me, I'm pretty sure I'm running no risk. Actually, I'm coming out of one of my most intense 'unhappy with Prince' phases. But even when I don't like what he does, I know that what his music has meant to me and my life transcends all the bullshit. A Lovesexy image in particular is sooooo important to me and my spiritual development. It marks a time when Prince and I did share beliefs about how the universe works. This is my 3rd Prince tattoo and there are more to come. I've got a Madonna one, a Panic at the Disco (and I've only fanned over them for 5 months!) I'm 37, been a Prince fan for 25 years, and a music fan for life. Like Madonna says, "Absolutely no regrets!"

Thanks! It won't all be Prince related, but all music related. Something from "Like a Prayer", something Wendy & Lisa, some assorted ribbons with lyrics in them, and then filled in/tied together with stars. That's the plan for now. I'll mostly let it unfold over time and see what needs to be there!

very cool! I've always wanted those big silver cut-outs that Prince wore on the Lovesexy tour.
