        they're just outlines! the coloring comes after i get my taxes back! hahaha.. but i've wanted these for YEARS and years they are from the second book i can't think of their names right now, and my tattoo artist has my book, but they have malingo locked up in the freak show, and the lady almost kills candy, which is why she is holding the knife. the image in the book is only of their busts, so my tat artist and i took a little creative imagination and came up with their bodies. i love these things, they're my largest tattoos and my FAVORITE <3 |

Do you have other tattoos? Non Abaratian ones? If so, I'd like to see those too if you care to share them.

Those ARE SO AWESOME. You are so COOL FOR THAT. I remember someone else on the forum getting a tattoo/thinking about a new one. Does anyone remember who that was? I'm forgetful sometimes.
And I love how they're non-main characters. And your artist did a fantastic job with the hats! They're going to be mind blowing with color.
And another random thought, did any of you see that picture on Revelations from AWHILE back, but it was of a guy's Abarat arm tattoo? I'm going to go find it now hopefully and post it.

WOW! that guys arm is sooo badass hahaha
i cant WAIT to get these colored! once i get my taxes back, i'll post up the pics!
yeah i struggled with picking out characters,
i didn't want candy-
i was REALLY considering malingo, but i wanted two "matching" pieces, on both my legs.
i also considered that little squid thing that candy used in the first book for eyes, i can't think of its name right now, but that gross little yellow squishy thing that ended up dying because it was out of water helping candy...seriously bawled my eyes out!
and then i thought about the cats-but i didn't like the idea that people would think i was a crazy cat girl and not understand the reference.
with these characters,
it not only expresses my love for abarat and the idea of a girl from minnesota(IM FROM MINNESOTA) having the ability to go off and be the savior of this foreign land, but also a healthy reminder of my "nerd/dark" side.
i've gotten TONS of comments on them-but not everyone likes them
my mom is still like "oh my god"
my dad doesn't know about them yet
but most everyone else is like "holy nuts, those are cool/badass/awesome/etc.'
i'm really happy with them, but i seriously cant WAIT to get colored!
