Oh my God, I think my heart will burst from love. BRENDON URIE. He. You guys. THE TATTOO. I have been thinking about The Tattoo lately, because – I don't know, I feel like people are judging it on different criteria than I want to judge it on? I mean, people were complaining about the execution, and like, the artwork, and that just seems kind of wrong-headed to me. Because the really important thing here, I would think, is what it says about Brendon, not how it looks: we're writing this kid as a character, not putting him in a frame and hanging him on the wall. So, I don't know, I was kind of mulling it over. And then just now, [livejournal.com profile] seanarenay posted a picture of Brendon pointing to it.



OMG. OMFG. I LOVE HIM AND I LOVE IT. And here's why, essentially reposted from my comment in her journal: ALL I needed to love this tattoo was some evidence that Brendon thinks it's awesome. Seriously, SERIOUSLY: talented Mormon kid rebels against his family and church so he can pursue his passion for music, and once he's a super-successful musician (with a band of adorable dorks who he loves), decides to get a tattoo of PIANO KEYS coming out from under his SKIN, because he LOVES MUSIC, it is PART OF HIM, and he will NEVER REGRET IT, it is permanent, it is forever, it is who he is. AND THEN HE DOESN'T REGRET IT. <33333333333

In conclusion, how is he even real?



Please talk to me about how much you want to hug him forever and buy him gift certificates to tattoo shops so he can get a whole damn sleeve. And if you haven't already, go check out [livejournal.com profile] kissingchaos9's Top Six Reasons I Love Brendon Urie So Much I Could Pass Out.

OMFG I LOVE YOUUU, YES.

Because the really important thing here, I would think, is what it says about Brendon, not how it looks: we're writing this kid as a character, not putting him in a frame and hanging him on the wall.

YESSS. And honestly, I think the artwork is pretty fucking awesome, and then there's the placement and the fact that it's COMING OUT OF HIS ARM, and just. BRENDON. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER.

I'm hoping this is the beginning of a sleeve of INSTRUMENTS. A cello! An accordion! Maybe even a pornomime!

Yeah, okay, I didn't even address this, but: I LIKE THE DAMN TATTOO ITSELF! I think it looks GREAT. Whatever, tattoo-haters! Whatever.

I hope so toooooo. I hope he gets a giant pornomime wrapped around his bicep. And, like, a flute. OH, BRENDON.

He is just the biggest dork EVER. I kind of want him to go up to one of the guys with a million tattoos (Frank, Andy, Pete) and be all "LOOK WHAT I GOT!!!!" and have them shake their head at how WEE he is.

PS Hush Sound, Sunday y/n?

I don't even want that, so much as think that it's CANON. It definitely HAPPENED.

But - honestly? If we're being totally honest? I kind of like his better than most of theirs, because of how much meaning there is behind it. Whereas Frank and Pete, MUCH THOUGH I LOVE THEM, do seem to kind of get inked for the sake of getting inked. I'm sorry! (Oh my Goddd, I wish Gerard wasn't afraid of needles, because can you imagine the awesomesauce combination of meaningfulness and visual artistry that his tattoos would be? WOW.)

PS Hush Sound Sunday y/y. I was resisting because I really really should stay home, save my money, and do homework, and also I'm not that into Hellogoodbye, but fuck that shit: GRETA. Are you and Marie both going?

Oh my God, the idea of Gerard and ink just. Just.

*waves hands and wibbles*

(I do so love Frank's random ink, though. It's some of the best that I've seen in quite a long time.)

I knooooow. Sigh, trypanophobia is lame.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I love Frankie's tattoos on him! But Brendon's is a lot more like the ones I want to get, which might be why I appreciate it more. He took one of the, like, top five most important things about him, and distilled that thought into something he can mark on his arm. I love that. <3
 
posted by [identity profile] fallingfortruth.livejournal.com at 02:41pm on 09/05/2007
Yeah, definitely. Poor Gerard. Poor world.

And that makes sense. I think I fall more into the Frank school of tattoo thought, (as opposed to the Pete school, 'I was bored') where each tattoo I want to get means a lot to me right now, but it doesn't DEFINE me, by itself. But my ink all together is eventually going to describe me, as a person.

Also, I have a great affection for his knuckles, because I lust after my own knuckle tats something fierce. One. Day.

Hee, yes, that is actually pretty accurate, I am thinking! The three types of tattoo-getter: "I was bored (Pete)," "this means something (Frank)," and "this means EVERYTHING (Brendon)." Personally I tend toward the third type, possibly because I overthink everything – but I can definitely understand the second kind, and appreciate it. (And of course, there's also the pure, body-as-art, meaning-free tattoo, which I love a lot, but which is very far from my own personality.)

 
posted by [identity profile] fallingfortruth.livejournal.com at 02:59pm on 09/05/2007
*nodnod* I tend to find that my personality is a little too scattered for me to be able to pull off 'this means EVERYTHING' tattoos. Because other than music, there isn't anything that means EVERYTHING to me that can adequately be described and put down on paper.

That, and I really, really like getting ink. So I suspect that I'm better off going for small, meaningful, and frequent, until I can piece them together into something bigger. *stares longingly at her side pieces*

Yeah, I, like Gerard, am the kind of person who can wring meaning from a stone, so I usually end up with these complex, elaborate symbolisms for everything I do. It's a little absurd. The Black Parade is totally the kind of thing I would come up with and take super seriously, no joke.

That's cool, though! I think probably the most important thing to do with your tattoos is make sure they fit who you are, and it sounds like you're doing that. I want to get inked so badly, it's killing me to wait until I can get those damn moles removed from my back and [livejournal.com profile] inminiature decides what she's getting so we can go together. What are your side pieces of?

They're four-winged angels, as seen on one of the first Aiden merch shirts (http://merchrobot.com/images/content/ANGEL_ZM.jpg) I ever bought. It was really weird, because I was trying, at the time, to figure out what Aiden tattoo I wanted, because they're a band that have been pivotal in the last year of my life, and I was working Warped tour for Victory when Troy (their merch guy) offered to give me a shirt for 10 bucks instead of the 15 they were charging. I didn't have any money, and I promised him that if I did, I would buy a shirt.

And the next day, after driving all night and getting about 45 minutes of sleep on a couch, as we were walking into the venue with our Sponsor passes around our necks, I glanced down and saw something green. It was two 5-dollar bills, and I used them to buy my Angel t-shirt. The design on the small size fits exactly perfect on my sides, and as soon as I have the money to do it, they're going to be my first multi-session tattoo.

Down the belt piece on the right one is going to be 'hey, call the angels, this razorblade was meant for me' and down the left one will be 'can you design living through hell and back again', because they're the Aiden lyrics from my favourite of their songs that mean the most to me.

And they're multi-purpose, for me, because in addition to being Aiden tattoos, they're also Angels, which I have a good secular humanists' obsession with in general, and they're also beautiful. Which I do kind of intend for my ink to be.

That's such an awesome story! I love that. My first tattoo is going to be the White Tree of Gondor from the LotR books, which, uhm. I'm a NERD.
 
posted by [identity profile] fallingfortruth.livejournal.com at 04:17pm on 11/05/2007
\o/

That's awesome. It just is. I admit also that the placement of my side pieces has everything to do with keeping my back open, because I'm holding out hope for being able to figure out one united design for my back. It won't happen, but, you know. Hope. Springing. Ever eternal. Something like that.

When I was 14 I wanted the ring script done curved around my boobs. True story. (Now not so much, because, uh... That would clash with the 4 other sets of ink that I want on my upper torso. Whoops!)
 
posted by [identity profile] shoemaster.livejournal.com at 02:39pm on 09/05/2007
Ahaha PERHAPS. And, hey, a lot of Frank's mean things! They may not be all "LotR, Linguistics and that other thing" like the one you want, but they are important! (Gerard would have the prettiest tattoos, but I kind of love that his skin is all untouched)

Yay! It's only $15 or whatever, and I think Molly is coming, too.

Ahahaha, oh baby, I knew you would leap to Frankie's defense. I love his ink too, I do! I appreciate his lovely decorative birds and his career-ruining scorpion! But Brendon's tattoo is conceptually more like the tattoos I want to get, which is probably why I like it better. Sorry! I can't help it. And also, Frank got his SO's name, which just strikes me as such a terrible awful idea I can't even. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT.

Yayyy! Maybe I can get Meela to come too, and then you can be truly outnumbered by the bisexuals. *g*

You should! It would be fun! And for Greta, I will be an honorary bisexual.

Oh whatever. I'm so in love with Frankie's "Halloween" finger tats.

But Brendon? 10 million kinds of adorable. I love that he's so into it. Here's the thing, though: I bet Pete and Frankie and all the other sleeved etc. dudes were JUST AS INTO their very first tattoo.

I don't think I like the idea of Gerard with tats so much. The absence kinda makes him, I dunno, pure somehow. It works for him. Better idea? if he designed everyone else's tattoos!

Dude, so am I! But I could pretty much go without his girlfriend's name on his chest.

Yeah, but I think they might have been more into the fact of getting their first tattoo, rather than stoked about what it actually was. Maybe! It's just my theory.

I want Gerard to design my tattoo, true story.

I've always been happy he got piano keys. I mean, I am in no way a successful musician, but to get a tattoo of your instrument is just fucking awesome. I understand it (and regret not getting my piano key tattoo before him, because hi, copycat!) and yes. Brendon Urie is made of win.

I just saw a pic of Joe Troh's random tattoos and they're so cute on him. Like Frank's. But GOD, I love love love The Butcher's tattoos. SO VERY MUCH.

Joe TROH, I love you and your ANKLE TATTOO (I have never seen a boy with one of those before!) but I think the really important part of that picspam is possibly Pete with a baby, oh my GOD (http://buzznet-19.vo.llnwd.net/assets/users16/mrsstumph/default/Did_I_Miss_Something--large-msg-117849653859.jpg).

The Pete with a baby pic is seriously so precious it makes my uterus hurt. (I personally know of one person writing a Patrick gets pregnant fic...what I've seen of it is fucking awesome. I'm working on one where Pete knocked up some chick on tour and had the baby dumped on him.)

Aren't Joe's tattoos so CUTE? I want to pet him.

I love the tattoo. I love how the keys are embedded in his skin and seem to be just bursting out, and I love that he got it, and I love that what he chose to get were in fact paino keys. I do want to hug him forever, and if he ended up getting a bunch of tattoos, even one of a Jenga tower, I would love him forever and probably send him a gift certificate for it, yes. He is a tiny music-loving monkey child, and I hope he never changes.
