Do you remember this song? Which I talked about in a blog post not too long ago?
For those that don't remember, it was sort of my 'summer anthem' in honour of my recent adventures in Ukraine. Some of you might also remember this post, which featured my small back tattoo with Polish colours on it.
I have a collection of five tattoos now which most people would probably describe as either 'shit', 'pointless' or 'downright pathetic', but to me, I love each and everyone of them. Each tattoo more or less exists as an honour to a specific, defining, moment in my life. I decided to get the colours of the Polish flag added to my back tattoo to honour my thoroughly enjoyable life here in Poland.
I've been thinking for a while or so now about a tattoo that would honour my love affair with Ukraine and it's language. Here's what I came up with...
Sorry for the grainy quality (phone camera) and I've put it in black and white because...well, everything looks better in B+W...
ти просто кохай - is the title of the 'summer anthem' I mentioned above. So far the few or so people I've shown it too seemed quite impressed. But it's far from over; when I get a bit more free cash I'll put a background to it with the colours of the Ukrainian flag.
Even further down the line, I want to get some proper Polish wording done on my opposite arm but I'm a bit lost for words in that respect. Maybe it's because I know Polish a little better than Ukrainian and hence I have more ideas floating around my head... anyways, I've put up a poll with some ideas on the right... so cast your votes and maybe you'll influence my next 'ink' idea!

Nice. I approve! Just out of interest where did you get them down and how much was it?
ReplyDeleteI've always been fascinated by Caesar's description of the Britons his legions fought when he invaded Briton. They would have wild facial tattoos each of which defined their life's experiences and social positioning. I rather like the idea of marking your body with time, events and phases in that way. I admire you for getting it done!
@Paddy - I did not know that about ancient Britons, thanks for the intriguing fact, maybe thats where I get these 'urges' from!
ReplyDeleteThe tattoo place I went to in Wroclaw was pretty good. Clean, professional and it's located behind the Renoma building if anyone is interested.
Cost was 250Pln if I remember correctly.
I stayed here for five nights and loved every minute of it The Thai villa had a large veranda overlooking the lake and although the property is only ten minutes from the centre of Ayutthaya, it feels like you are in a different world.
