Al Got Inked. Some of you may remember me mentioning that I wanted more ink needled into my body. Well, I went ahead and did it.→[More:]It's not totally finished, but you get the idea. I'll post more detailed pictures once it heals up a bit.

MIDI Underwood? Hammond Organ? Roland Remmington?

It looks good, in any case.

Based very loosely on an Underwood. I didn't want it to be a specific model since it's more symbolic than showing any allegiance to a particular make.

That's a fucking incredible tat, YCCMA. Don't make me crave any more ink right now - i'm not making enough cash!

Grah (you're gorgeous!)

I'd get a tat but I would never be happy with it, no matter what it was. I tossed ideas around and eventually decided to forget it.

Very cool, al! This post is about an accidental meetup between a couple of your brethren.

Sistren, you meant? :)

Heh. Yeah, I stumbled upon those the other day. None of them have the piano keys, though. Therein lies the all-important difference. :)

Sistren sounds too much like "cistern". Ew!

The piano keys are great! I didn't even exactly get that at first.

That is so rad!

That looks great. So, what happens next? Adding colour?

That's so badass.

Nice stuff.

Utterly brilliant.

No color, just more shading. Eventually, I'll figure out some way to incorporate the color piece above it and extend the keyboard up, but for now I just want all the shading done on what I've got.

Nice work. I actually have an appointment myself for tomorrow. Once I figure out how to get pictures on here, I'll post it. The shading is great on your tat. Sometimes they look best in black and white.

That ties with the Miro bicep for the best tattoo I've ever seen. Right on!
