chaotic_nippleTattoo # 1: 
I got this one waaaaay back in the misty dawn of time. It's the logo for Warp Graphics, who made the wonderful comic series Elfquest. I'd always wanted a tattoo, and I would have gotten this eventually anyways, but at the time I actually got it, I was heart-broken over a girl. What better way to get over emotional anguish that to scribe it permanently on your skin?
Tattoo #2:
The Chaotic Nipple itself. The 8-Pointed Arrow of Chaos is from Michael Moorcock's "Eternal Champion" books, most notably the Elric series.
Tattoos # 3 & 4:
Meaningless scribbles I picked off the wall at a tattoo shop. I only got them because, with two tattoos on my left side, I felt unbalanced. Never again shall I get "Flash" art imprinted on my body, and I'll get these ones covered up as soon as I can get a _GOOD_ design to replace them. Maybe a dragon of some sort?
Tattoo #5:
The Crichton family crest.
Tattoo #6:
The Lawful Nipple. Counterpart to the Chaotic Nipple, it brings balance to my chest and prevents the Multiverse from tearing itself apart. Also from Moorcock.
Tattoos # 7 & 8:
Taken from Carla Speed McNeil's incredible Finder series. If you're a fan of Neil Gaiman's work, check out Finder, it has the same feel of wonder and myth as his stuff, without being derivative. The best place to start would be the Talisman trade paperback.

I don't post on LJ, however. I have a blog at myspace.com/johnoliphant. Add me as a friend---I apparently know a lot of hot Nashville girls.
