i got my geek on
yes, this may be the geekiest tattoo in the history of tattoos. i know it's not to everyone's taste, but that's the joy of tattoos. they are utterly selfish acts. and this? i completely adore it.
here's everything it represents:
- the word "argus" and the triangle are taken from the imprint on the very first box camera i bought and used for TTV.
- the triangle is a slide viewer, and the orange band is the focusing ring.
- i lovelovelove the argus font. (i'm a total font freak.)
- the orange is, well, orange.
- argus was a mythological beast with 1000 eyes, and was known for seeing everything.
- there's a bird called an argus, related to the peacock, whose feathers resemble, yes, eyes. and, see, me and birds, we go way back.
- the design of the concentric circles is taken directly from the shutter release button on the vintage 35mm argus A2F i've been using.
see, i've already told several people about this, and what all the pieces mean, but there's one secret i've kept til now.
there are four concentric circles.
one for each rustafarian.
me, smack, pappas, and bowman.
yep.
it's that simple.
