And come summer, when I am wearing tank tops, Schaumburg will know that I am a viola player...

[bammba-m.livejournal.com]

or bassoon. or cello.

although it does sit somewhat high...so maybe that's enough to distinguish it.

[rennie-frog.livejournal.com]

Congrats! It looks great!

[belmikey.livejournal.com]

FanTAStic.

[kynn.livejournal.com]

A stylized "K" to declare your love for me?

[violachic.livejournal.com]

Aw, you see right through me!

[kynn.livejournal.com]

That's why I'm totally getting a bright red "A" tattoo just to show my love for you!

...wait.

[violachic.livejournal.com]

Make sure you post pictures!

;-)

[violachic.livejournal.com]

(actually, the alto clef is sometimes referred to as the "K" clef, because of the shape some printers use for it instead of this one)

[sweetzicke.livejournal.com]

Wow, you really did it! I'd be too scared!

[violachic.livejournal.com]

I already have one tattoo and two facial piercings, so its getting less scary :-) Plus I took two Tramadol an hour before I went in...

[sabotabby]

Awesome!

[seaya.livejournal.com]

It looks already healed!

[violachic.livejournal.com]

I know, it looks so clean and everything! Its totally fresh, but the artist is very good, and kept me cleaned and moisturized all through the process.

[strawberry83.livejournal.com]

Awesome! :D It looks great! Where did you go?

[violachic.livejournal.com]

A new friend of the 'Nidge has just opened a shop in Rogers Park- its called Mars Hill Tattoo.

[febrile.livejournal.com]

How long had you been wanting to get that done?

[violachic.livejournal.com]

A VERY long time :-)

[2049live.livejournal.com]

Oooooh- you're in treble now. ;-)

[violachic.livejournal.com]

Nooooooo.


I'm -out- of treble ;-)

[igina.livejournal.com]

I almost screamed "alto clef" but then realized I not only am in a library, but also am working.

Just take care of it per instructions and it should be good.

[donia.livejournal.com]

That is one sweet-ass tat! It suits you perfectly!

[pixelene.livejournal.com]

Woweee wowow! Nice! Hope I get to see it in person soon :P

[magp.livejournal.com]

Very cool. :)

[happynoodlehead.livejournal.com]

You are amazing. ;)

[violachic.livejournal.com]

*bows*

why, thank you!

[altocleftattoo.livejournal.com]

THAT ROCKS! I like how big it is! How did you have it done - take some sheet music and have it enlarged? How long did it take? And again, THAT ROCKS!

[violachic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, exactly :-) He xeroxed some music, and then enlarged it until we thought it was the right size. In retrospect, its probably bigger than I thought it would be, but I really like it. It took about... maybe 25 minutes?

[roguevla.livejournal.com]

huh...

When I was in high school I totally thought when I was 18 I'd be getting a tattoo very similar to that asap...

and then my life changed.... and viola still is a backseat (reluctantly) in my life.

[violachic.livejournal.com]

Well, my viola is MUCH more of a backseat than I had ever thought, but its the passion that counts :-) So if the alto clef is still dear to your heart- then go for it!

[roguevla.livejournal.com]

but that's the thing is... I love my viola very much (and have been missing the occasional babysitting job for one of my high school's instruments [it was nicknamed "big red"] I loved it.) but I think I might be bitter if I'd gone through with getting the tattoo because it would literally be a scar of something in my past that I regret.

Namely that I couldn't get my act together and commit to it, which on the one hand is a good sign that I wasn't on the right path. but does hurt because I did have *some* talent on the instrument that does come back in bursts when I try and I hurt too much and then I don't touch it for another three months. it's a vicious cycle.

and one of the things I've said is that I was never going to get a tattoo that I'd regret for whatever reason (you know that whole never get a boyfriends name, or actually strangely enough any fandom you have. [I also totally thought at the same time as I was going to get the viola clef I was going to get a really fancy script Lestat de Lioncourt "autograph" tattoo once. boy yeah don't want that any more.])
