IDEAS OF THE DAY: more tattoo stuff. bird got talking about wanting a half sleeve and i've never really given thought to the idea but you know what, that would solve my problem of wanting SO MANY FUCKING BIRDS TATTOOED ON ME. a half sleeve of birds would make so much sense.

SO HERE WE GO OLIVER'S FAVORITE THING: lists. list of bird species candidates for the eventual half sleeve [most likely right arm]:

- Carolina Parakeet
- Bohemian Waxwing
- Belted Kingfisher
- Great Blue Heron
- Double Crested Cormorant
- Brown Pelican [immature?? they are so cute in their baby feathers]
- Magpie [american, for Bird of course <3]
- Bowerbird [no idea what species, probably a male holding a little bone in its foot, to show it's a bowerbird and not a crow or w/e]
- Shearwater [again unsure on species; would put albatross but i have a separate tattoo idea for that]
- Turkey Vulture
- maybe a little small cockatiel in there??
- Passenger pigeon?
- A raptor of some kind? not sure what but i feel like that family should be represented edit: realized this would most likely be a Little Eagle, for Ales :3


other miscellaneous tattoo wants/ideas:
- albatross pair with me and bb??
- tiger, also probably in a rly nice wildlife illustration/lithograph style like Walton Ford
- Broken Arrows of course
- archaeopteryx, wonder if i could somehow incorporate it in the bird sleeve???

[insert emotional keysmashing here]

You're such a loud voice,
such a strong back,
such a hard return
of the backhand blows of life

and I know that sometimes
I'm like a stranger,
and I hide myself from everyone --

I'm so glad you reached me

I was a live one,
I was a cold light
But you were piercing my heart
with your lucid eye

And I'm so glad you reached me
