It's cool to have tattoos. It's better to have tattoos that are done well and are different. Great examples of reallllllly nice tattoos.

Here are a few really nice photos I found that make use of taking a really simple concept and executing it properly. There really wasn't much involved in making these photos if you think about it. Just taking one idea and making it the whole photo can have a lot of impact.

Bird Love

Years ago, I never thought parrots could be such fun pets. Now I own three. Can you tell I've changed my mind? I love all other animals; I think each one brings something different to your life. But I simply love birds as pets. I find that they are most like people out of all of the pets. They take a long time to trust you, but once they do, their affection is undying. They call for you when they don't know where you are (if they don't learn to talk this could get annoying). It's also normal to find a bird playing with your hair, preening it strand by strand or taking you hair clip out for you ("thanks!"). And if they need to get clean, they just hop right in the shower with me. When I'm sitting quietly, they perch and relax and when I get up and dance around my dining room they will dance with me (they actually dance). I love birds!

On the left is Chip, the Caique and on the right is Comet, the Green Cheek Conure (cinnamon mutation).

For the days when I feel very different from the majority, I remind myself this may in fact be a good thing. Here are some sweet quotes:

Damaged people are dangerous. They know they can survive.

You've got enemies? Good, that means you stood up for something in your life.

Before you diagnose yourself with depressions or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes.

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

May the bridges I burn light the way.

Concepts

I would love to try these concepts in some of my work...

Earrings

Objective:
Every time I visit a new place, I like to look around to find a unique pair of earrings. Jewelry can be such a fascinating form of art and it always amazes me the how many designs can be transformed into a little sculpture that hangs for your ear.

Here is my progress thus far:
