    I like the math-iness. As much as I hate math I like the look of complex equations.

    I will be the first person to say that I would be incredibly sad if I woke up with this on my foot. But to each his own, right? 🙂

    I used to draw the “x”ed box with the triangle roof all the time! It’s one of those “only use one line” thingees!

    Love it! It’s a totally fun tattoo…I think if I had something like that, I’d get a crazy grin every time I looked at it.

    But everyone’s got his or her opinion. ^^

    He told me make it look like a 5 year old did it and thats exactly how I did it. For the doodles that are tattooed on his foot along with the math problem, a 6 year old child was with his mom outside and we had him come in and draw the doodles onto a piece of paper and i copied them onto his foot and tattooed them.

    I guess that’s why I only got a C :|!

    Although I like the high quality perfection of the “tattooed paintings” nowadays, I also very much like unpolished “direct” tattoos, not aiming at perfection. There certainly is an artistic and conceptual quality to those as well. I very much like it.
