awesomesproutOk so yes. Do we all remember Jessica's idea for the tattoo she wants on her right arm? Yah. The Thai one. So I was researching thai characters last night and see here's a really interesting fact about thai characters. Unlike chinese characters where words are represented in usually one or two characters... Thai words are represented by like 5 or more characters. pretty much one for each letter in the word. So I'm like. Oh my god. This is gonna be a bit much. So here's what I wanna know.. Should I go with my origional tattoo idea ( the thai characters and asian-esque font ) orrrr this idea...
I have a pewter flask in my car from Thailand that was given to my father a short time ago. I inherited it. I'm thinking I'll get a tattoo of the picture that's on the flask and underneath it... in the font I was gonna use I'll put R.I.P.

and that way it would be respresentative of two things. 1. The art of our culture. And 2. it would be from something he actually owned while he was alive.
And here's a picture of the flask itself...
They're a little blurry because the flask is curved but I'll explain each one and then I'll tell you which i've picked..
Ok this is the side with the elephants. There is an elephant and two guys riding the elephant. on the bottom there are like 7 little elephants in a line. The whole thing is encompassed in a circle with a border. I like this one because of the shape and there isn't as much detail so the picture is simple and to the point.
next picture:
Ok this side is super detailed... it has 2 gods riding in chariots. They're holding swords and flags... it's an awesome picture because it has a lot of detail about thai gods and battle. But like I said... I think it might be too detailed because everything is really small on this one..
I think I like the elephant side more....
So there ya have it... let me know what you think!
