Tattoo - Revisited (Part III)

Oh yeah, I'm back. Deal with it.

Got tried of playing with old ideas. Didn't help that the one I went back to; I'd lost all the Photoshop files for it. Bummer is; I knew I'd seen them recently. Like really recently. :(
I did get to play with it some, and it is still under the works, but I'm moving to a more simple idea; as I've YET to hammer down a tattoo idea when they all seem to be so complex. When they're complex, I try to play with them (Oh, that sounds bad. lol) 'til they're perfect. When I get close (dear lord...); well, close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, right? So I keep working. Then the whole idea implodes - injuring only my self confidence, and itself - and even if I hit the magic Ctrl+Z, I see what it had become, and it never looks right again.

So! Simplicity to start; I have decided. Here's what I got...

I fully expect everyone's first response to be, "The hell... Castles?!"
No, rooks. Like chess. Ask my dad; I suck at chess. But I'm a thinker, and chess is very much a thinking man's game.
Then, by process of elimination; I picked the rook. I'm usually stable (so the castle part of the piece came into play), and I never screw around getting to where I'm going. I get there in a dead straight line. (For those of you who don't know, rooks move in straight lines.)

So it all made sense to me.

Thoughts? Anyone?

And there we have it!

So ends "Tattoo Day," and I did actually get shit stuff done. I nearly forgot after work, but a friend of mine was like, "Tattoo!" when I said I didn't know what to do.

You know who you are. :) Thank you for reminding me. Otherwise I would have remembered MUCH too late.

So I went back to my original idea. Removed some stuff, and so needed to move stuff around. New pictures can be found here; in the same place as every other time...

Tell me what you like, what you don't, what you feel I should change, add, remove. I'm open to input, but that doesn't mean if you SAY something I will DO it.

Now off to a movie. A scary movie; alone.
I need friends...
