Looks kinda girlie on its own, though.
I concur, that would look neat, although I'm not really into the gothic culture. I've seen some guys who did get the full name, but I would never get a band name tattooed on myself, even a band that has been as influential in my life as Opeth. The "O" is part of the band logo, true, but I look at it as more of a symbol representing my love for all metal and beautiful tribal-esque tattoos.

I've actually been thinking about a tribal tattoo for a several years now, but I have not found any that really fit the image in my head, which is best represented by the "O" symbol. Something simple, yet intricate as well. I can see the design clearly in my mind, but not clear enough that I can draw it out. Does that make sense?

This is definitely not a decision I'm going to make lightly. Its one I've been contemplating for a number of years because as has been said, this is something I'm gunna be sporting the rest of my life. I still have a few things I want to get done before I get ANY work done, so I'm not gunna just run down to our local tattoo parlor and get it slapped on next payday.

I do, however, have a place and artist picked out. I won a contest at a concert awhile back for $200 worth of free work from the most respected tattoo/body modification parlor in Alaska. The artist I've chosen is a friend whom I have known for almost 4 years now and I've come to greatly respect his work. There are no time constraints with the $200, so there is no rush.

Organ Donor

I about choked on my pepsi when I read that.

Thanks for all the input, guys and gals!
