03.01.12 | Ban, do you REALLY want 'Come Now Sleep' with ambiguous punctuation on your collarbone? |
AngelofDeath
03.01.12 | Yes. |
WeepingBanana
03.01.12 | get both |

03.01.12 | Banion and Samshine return on the same day, coincidence? |

03.01.12 | I wouldn't get a music tatoo but that's just me. I figure I might not even listen to the same music I do now within a few years |

03.01.12 | Unless you've liked the bands that those lines were taken from for about 10 years, I wouldn't get a tattoo of something related to them. You might have completely different opinions of them down the road. Whenever you get a tattoo of a phrase or something, it's best to do one that's had heavy meaning to you, and will for as long as you live. |
DominionMM1
03.01.12 | get both. what have you got to lose, anyway? |
americanohno
03.01.12 | get "come now, you are my silence, sleep"
and the directly below that get a skull w/ a cigar in its mouth and a knife stickin' outta its head.
and then below that get "how do you like your blue-eyed boy mr. death?"
thattaway you can reference as cities burn, ee cummings, and harry crews in one tatoo.
I don't know what 'you are my silence' references but i'm guessin' an emo band.

03.01.12 | angel is ban omg
Also, is this your first tattoo or do you have others?
My personal policy is also to have more than two days between settling on a tattoo and actually getting it. (Or not... it's your skin...) |
Trebor.
03.01.12 | Only get tattoos of bands that are broken up
|
AngelofDeath
03.01.12 | I believe I know someone with a three-word music-related tattoo on their collarbone that is quite happy with it. |

03.01.12 | "a skull w/ a cigar in its mouth and a knife stickin' outta his head."
lol |
DominionMM1
03.01.12 | and don't get it on your collarbone. it'll make you look trashy, which wouldn't be good unless you're floridian or something. |

03.02.12 | "I wouldn't get a music tatoo but that's just me. I figure I might not even listen to the same music I do now within a few years" (and all the other posts directed to not getting music related tattoos
The tattoo is for my best friend/boyfriend that passed away, it was one of his favorite albums, one of mine, the song timothy which repeats those lines is very relevent to the situation, and his headstone reads "Come now my friend, brother, son, sleep." So its more then just an album name to me. |
Vesper
03.02.12 | Yeah, you do, Angel. I didn't ask anybody about it and thought about getting it for a while, though.
And how exactly would a collarbone tattoo make Ban look 'trashy'? Fuck off. |

So why are you asking us if you should decide between this and the "You Are My Silence" one? It sounds like you really want this one...? |
TheFonz123
03.02.12 | thats a pretty good reason for getting a tattoo. sorry for your loss (this probably happened like 5 years ago or something but w/e) |

03.02.12 | "Also, is this your first tattoo or do you have others?

It is my first and I've been settled in the placement for like 6 years, and been trying to decide between the two for quite awhile so dont worry lol I'm not one to make rash quick choices AT ALL.
"So why are you asking us if you should decide between this and the "You Are My Silence" one? It sounds like you really want this one...?"
Actually I really wanted "You Are My Silence" Alot more (was his sputnik user name) Thought it was more original and always really liked it... and would probably choose that one almost immediatly, however I have no idea where it came from. I never asked him where he got it :/ And im pretty sure that would drive me insane forever. |
Banion
03.02.12 | So its a huge toss up for me... |
WeepingBanana
03.02.12 | while i think tattoos should be personal, i wouldn't recommend something that's gonna be really depressing to explain to people who are gonna inevitably ask you what "You Are My Silence" means |
Deviant.
03.02.12 | Out of the two I prefer Brandon's username
And I'm not one who's going to attempt to dissuade you from doing this. I know why you're getting it done, and I also have ink on me as a memorial |
Vesper
03.02.12 | Okay, that's reassuring, haha.
Just going to warn you - getting it on your collarbone hurts quite a bit, and probably will feel more so since you haven't had any tattoos before.
And, yeah, since it'll be pretty visible, be prepared for anybody who sees it to ask what it means - if that's going to bother you, I might reconsider.
I've seen that phrase tossed around in some poems and songs, but I think his favorite album has more significance than his Sputnik handle, so I'd go with the former. |
asaf
03.02.12 | you're never going to be totally happy with it. you'll always think twice until you put down a deposit and have an artist sketch it for you and then you know you're committed. sounds pretty minor and small just go ahead and pop your cherry already. go ahead an open the door for more animated and colorful pieces.
I've got a full biomech sleeve and sometimes i love it, sometimes i hate it. but i never regret it. |

03.02.12 | Amazing album, one of my favorites. Come Now Sleep for sure.
Lol who said collarbone tattoos are trashy? |

03.02.12 | "Just going to warn you - getting it on your collarbone hurts quite a bit, and probably will feel more so since you haven't had any tattoos before."
True dat, but after this you're pretty much set for any other "pain" that may come when you get more ink.
I enjoy "You Are My Silence" personally, but both evoke rather vivid imaginings. |
balcaen
03.02.12 | "you are my silence" seems to resonate a lot more personally with you judging from what you've said about it... and is directly tied to Brandon rather than to one objective album.. hm
you seem pretty set on the collarbone placement so i won't bug you about it. a lot of people have developped disdain for them in the last few years because the frequency and demographic may as well be the new tramp stamp. i'd never judge anyone for it though, just wouldn't get something that visible on myself. |

03.02.12 | You Are My Silence
definitely.
rip forever man |

07.03.13 | I love Come Now Sleep more than anyone, but there has to be a more poignant lyric to tattoo on your chest than that. I prefer the "We are thieves and saints alike" line, or the especially appropriate considering the placement, "But feigners, we are only strangers" |
