The Churning of the Sea of Milk

People,

I am making progress in my plans to permanently scar my body using a painful process of injecting ink under the layers of the skin on my back. In other words, I have prepared the basis for my tattoo design.

It began with a few images of The Churning of the Milky Ocean, a bas-relief scuplture found on a wall at Angkor Wat in Cambodia. I chopped and rotated and combined and accentuated the images to make a single whole image. You can check out the initial structure here. My tattoo artist is using this as a basis for her black/gray ink drawing. I hope to see a first draft of her drawing on Saturday.

I'll let you know if I get any of the actual tattoo done this weekend. No matter what happens, I know it will never be even half as cool as the best tattoo ever.

Best regards to you and yours,
JJ

  1. (insert funny inside joke using the name “joan altabe” here)… yeah, you know what i’m talking about… or not!

  2. W.W.J.A.S. – What Would Joan Altabe Say? (no disrespect was intended)

  3. Jimmy’s best tattoo ever still has a little room under the ‘fuck yeah’ to make it even more badass:

    JJ, you get the draft back from the artist?

  4. Joan: You rule! I used to live in Sarasota. Seriously, you are cool. Trav is simply referring to an art critic that he and I are both familiar with.

    Cat Scratch: Nice one! A cat ass tattoo would be badass – I mean catass.

    I saw the first draft the other day – still needs a lot of work. I’m hoping for some updates this weekend.
