Cutting it close, I know! That’s what happens when you’re gone for the final week and a half before a project is due. But don’t lie, y’all wouldn’t have passed up the opportunity to go to Ireland and Germany either!

So sad that this has to end when I feel like I am just getting the hang of it! Needless to say, I hope this was not an exercise in self-importance and that at least one other person got something out of my site. I’m not going to lie, though…I, like every other person in here, am so ready for the semester to be over it’s not even funny!

Bottom line: Music’s freakin’ awesome. Support local bands. And go get a tattoo!

I will leave you with three videos… two are music videos from local/regional bands and one is a video of someone getting a tattoo(see below and above)…

In addition to the last post where I put a link to the Murder Ink story, I thought I would post here a story I did back in April on tattoos. It is sort of a student reaction Features piece on the passage of Senate Bill 806. I just thought the students’ points of views might be interesting.

Students’ Thoughts on Tattoo Legalization Story

I just got back from a trip overseas to see my grandfather for his birthday, and I just wanted to share a piece of advice…it’s much easier to go through the security check in an airport if you take out any and all of your piercings beforehand….otherwise, you end up holding up a line and pissing a bunch of people off! I know, it should have been common sense, but that’s what happens when you have a flight at 5 in the morning and you’re barely awake.

I recently created a new group on Facebook dedicated to people who are interested in body art. It’s named Tattoo OSU. Right now, there are about 10 members. Hopefully that number will grow. I’m interested in possibly taking or getting pictures of students’ tattoos to post on this page, and I thought that might be the easiest way to get in touch with people to do it.
Also, I was interested to find out how many people either have tattoos or are interested in getting them, so I created the following poll:

I got married this past weekend. I know you’re wondering what this has to do with tattoos or music, but I’m getting to it…

I wore a strapless dress. I have a fairly good-sized tribal armband tattoo on my upper arm. I didn’t want to offend any relatives or draw attention away from my beautiful dress, so I ended up ordering a tattoo cover kit that I had seen in a bridal magazine.

So I’m in my car the other day, headed to the post office, rockin’ out to a Black Eyed Peas song I like that’s on the radio (it may surprise people to find out I’m not all hard rock and heavy metal), singing along (in my head, of course), and as I’m impatiently anticipating the bridge and chorus, it comes on….

“Oh no no no, don’t *mess* with my heart.”

I had to go and be unoriginal….I’m combining two subjects that people have already chosen.

This site is going to be dedicated to music and tattoos, namely the current news aspect of them and what’s going on with music nationwide and tattoo legalization in Oklahoma. Many of my posts will probably be about my take on happenings in the music world, mentioning a band or CD I think is cool, updating on what’s going on with tattoo legalization in Oklahoma, and maybe posting some pictures of tattoos.
