My crazy RavenEye finger tattoo


At some point this summer, an intense dialog between heart and mind began.

Heart: I really really want a RavenEye tattoo!
Mind: No rush, and remember the two-months rule.
yeah but...
do you remember when you wanted wings tattoo on your entire back?
ok ok got it. But I really want something with their logo.
Look what we’re going to do: we’ll find someone who can make a pendant with the logo, what do you think?
that’s a great idea, thanks!

And this ideal dialog reacted at different points during these months.

On November the fourth Giulia and I flew to the UK to see a couple of gigs of the RavenEye. Needless to say, it was awesome. So awesome that the idea of the tattoo got stronger.


I think we should do it

I shall remind you your tattoo golden rules? First: wait two months to be sure you really agree with yourself. Second: please no exposed places, all tattoos must be covered if necessary. You don't want people to judge you, right?
got it
...
listen, brain. I really really want a tattoo behind my ear, something about the music.
follow our rules please, that's a quite fucking exposed place, isn't it?
you're right but... may I have a bass clef?
no way
ok a note will be fine. 

Saturday, december third.
After a hard week, brain is temporarily unavailable due to work overflow. I decided to go to take appointment with a famous tattoist in Rome. You know, they always have a long long queue, so I planned to have a month wait to further think about my tattoo ideas. To keep faith with the two months rule. I wanted to have it earlier next January. 
But. 
The tattoo artist had just finished a beautiful leg tattoo on a girl and he was free. 

WOHOOOOOO Dear tattooist, I'm here for a finger tattoo and a tattoo behind a ear
ZZZZZZZZ

And that's it, taking advantage of temporary absence of some mature conscience in my person, I had these tattoos, breaking all my rules.
