Hi guys, i'm really looking forward to my next pj tattoo which i'm designing based on some figures i've been collecting. I'd like to share it with you and know what you think, may be give some ideas or twists.

This is the lastest draft of it:

10526_1243900894694_1144525852_758062_2041682_s.jpg

Or if you like you can see the rest of the drafts and images i've use in the following facebook gallery:

http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=38247&id=1144525852&l=1827e6c35a

Thanks God for Pearl jam and cheers to you!

    mmm... nice concept but it needs a lot of work if you want to step out side the confort zone, maybe something more unique to you, more representative of your character.

    I totally agree man, that is why i'm not 100% sure yet. I'll keep tinkering with it.

    Thanks!

    I think the picture would be better without the words surrounding it. Do you really need to label it like that?

    Something like this?

    10316_1246218792640_1144525852_765347_3169811_n.jpg

    I think your are right, i like it better i think. Althought i would still love to ad "Pearl Jam" somewhere, somehow. May be like in the botton, like it would be the ground.

    This tattoo is aim to be placed in my right wrist.

    Cheers.

    I think the circle around it was nice though!
    Maybe keep a thin-lined circle, just drop the words? :)

    I think you're on to something here. Have you considered placing the words inside the rock silhouette so they become the rocks...that would be quite a profound message if you think about it....Pearl Jam as Eddie's "rock".

    Just a thought.
    If nothing else, I have fate on my side.

    Actually that sounds good, i'll see if i can do it, my gimp skills are not that good i think, but i'll give it a shot.

    ..we'll see, i want this tattoo by next week so if i cant do it, i will have this.

    Cheers

    Hello there.. well i couldnt do the rock thing, but its ok, i like just how it is now. The way i see it, you know, i like the idea of Pearl Jam helping me to stay alive basically. I know it sounds a bit extreme, but they do help me to hold on to something and to keep some balance. Whenever things go dark, i hold to their music and they are always there, always truthfull, always real, just plain honest, which are off course, really really important things to me. So i have this now:

    9028_1253074644032_1144525852_786541_7323089_n.jpg

    And like i sketched on the pic, i started to thinking what may be eddie is staring at, or actually, what i would be staring at. I think it would be nice to add a little picture there, like a seed/flower growing, im not sure. But id like to add something there, something nice and hopefull. I dont know, may be something that represents love, or something that gives me hope. Theres a line in backspacer i think in "unthought known" that says:
    look for love and evidence that you are worth keeping
    These words make perfect sence to me, but i cant put all that in the tattoo, so maybe something that represents that. I cant think of anything right now.

    Anyway, thanks to you all for your great replys and ideas, i really appreciate it.

    Cheers.

    I don't think that sounds extreme at all... I think you will find most of us on here think the same. I know for sure that Pearl Jam's music has helped me through some extreme lows and has also brightened already great days. Thats what happens when something profoundly moving and constant is in your life for 18 years. It helps...

    :D I really liked watching the progression of ideas in this thread, congrat's on your new tattoo! And no, it doesn't sound extreme when you say their music is what's helping keeping you going, it helps me stay grounded also. Music has always helped me focus and feel complete.

    Congratulation's again and thanks ;) for sharing with us!
