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,
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

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!
(no subject)
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.

PS Hush Sound, Sunday y/n?

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?

*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.)
(no subject)
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
(no subject)
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.

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*
(no subject)
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

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 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!)

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

It is SO TRUE. He casts a FRIENDSHIP SPELL! Oh, hearts.

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.

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!
(no subject)
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 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.

I don't know that I've seen pictures of Joe Troh or the Butcher's tattoos! Link?

Joe's...hmm. Where did I see those? Oh! God, that took a few minutes. Here you go! (http://daybreak25.livejournal.com/45357.html?style=mine#cutid1)

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). I want fic where Patrick gets pregnant so baaaaaaaad. :(

Aren't Joe's tattoos so CUTE? I want to pet him.
Butcher, otoh, I want to do dirty dirty things to.
