Do not know if you have noticed but my body mods are severly lacking at this point, i was not real interested in them at a young age as from my view it just seemed a trendy thing to do, currently i have a completely different view on body mods tattoos and piercings, they hold many differen meanings for many different people but my own reasons now are more personal and on a deeper level. I see myself as a bit of an outcast from my mainstream society, i do not fit in well with alot of normal people as they so like to call themselves. No matter how much i tried to dress to fit in or act to fit, my personality or character so to speak has always left me out. I have taken an interest in body modification as i feel it expresses my difference, by puposefully seperating myself physically from your every day person. if that makes sense. I am not trying to be rebellious but i want to make a statement and be proud of my indviduality and uniqueness. This is more so part the inside of me, but expressing it on my outside i think helps.
I have urges to get tattoos, and ideas pretty much dominant my mind whilst i am working at the servo, studying a bachelors degree in visual art helps as it is a good outlet for creativity, i am currently woking on my own sketches for my ink work, i have plans for a full sleve that i want to slowly develop over time, my ideas in my mind have juggled with a few ideas but this i what i have so far.
I want my sleeve to show the current psychology of man and represent the different levels of it using symbolic imagery down my arm. I am currently working on an image that i will go on my shoulder, the image is of nostradamus to represent concious man, around this image i want to have earthly things, but also shit like pyramids, and the stars above where man currently looks up to, underneath nostradamus i want to have water and waves which will represent the unconcious, within this unconcious i want to represent the anima wih a female figure such as a mermaid, the further you go down the arm the darker the imagery gets and further into the unconcious we are getiting, i dont know just yet want i will have in these sections probably things to represent the shadow, wise old man, the trickster other jungian archetypes. Anyways at the very bottom i want a dragon that is guarding a pearl in his tail. This will be at the very depths of the unconcious where man is too afraid to wander. Anyways sounds super thought out and abit obsessive compulsive but i am sucker for symbolism, and psychology which is something that plagues and mystifies me at the same time, and i think will for the rest of my life, and just take a slice of it very the rest of my life as well through tattooing,
anyways i post this sketch i am working on in my pics section, i will slowly add more and more to add as this project develops further.

i really like that post. geez i wish i could make my posts that long. i have always had body mods, piercing always had some sort of out of the ordinary piercing, and i have had dreds twice, everyone use to think i was dirty and ppl at school use to give me shit. my point is i never fitted in either and i never will, im too much of a freak for mainstream, sumtimes i try so hard to be mainstream its like people can pick your not like "them". meh thats why i love SG you can be whoever the fuck you want to be and people will still love you.
