I'm very excited to start my next two tattoos. They're a themed matched pair that will go on the inside of my forearms. I've wanted them for a very long time. I have posted the original drawings done by an artist friend of mine. Here's a link to them.
Nothing much to add about information involving being tattooed as a T2, but I wanted to share with others who get it. ;)

Permalink Reply by Brendan Leber on November 16, 2012 at 3:27pm In Celtic mythology there are only two seasons. Winter and Summer. The Oak King, represented as the Green Man, rules the summer half of the year. The Holly King, represented as the Greene Knight, rules the winter half. I love winter, so these are two aspects of the Greene Knight.
They will be my 5th & 6th and other than the compass rose tramp stamp, all my ink is related to winter in some way.

I'm sure you'll enjoy them even more once they're on your forearms!
