It's going to be a very elaborate and detailed unicorn. But instead of a horn, he will have an erect penis for a horn. Upon closer inspection, like within 3 feet or so, you will realize the unicorn is made up entirely of "GTFO"s in Arial Black font.

But in the dream, the tattoo was made out of nothing but different shades of blue. Some were almost grey, but they were still shades of blue. Of course this was in dream world, so it looked super badass. No tattoo in real life could ever look as badass as this one did.

I've been considering a sleeve for years though, so if I were to get one, it would be a huge flowing collage of all sorts of things. If I go through with it, I don't know who in the world I'll get to draw this thing up, because I'm certainly no artist. Luckily my girlfriend is though, so if she can't do it, she should know someone who can. It would feature three themes: as above, so below; yin & yang; and... as best as I can put it into words... all is one.

It would start "small" near my wrist and become "colossal" by the time it got to my shoulder. I don't mean the tattoo itself, but the things in it. Whoever I get to draw/paint it will have to come up with some really artistic way of representing energy. Maybe some colorful waves or something like that, down by my wrist. Maybe I'll throw in a reference to the Planck length. Just above that, the classical model of an atom, with other smaller atoms nearby to look far away and give it depth. Just above that, a molecule. Above that, a cell. Above that, dirt with tree roots in it. On the surface of the ground and at the base of the tree would be a few mushrooms, and the tree itself would go all the way up to my elbow, maybe even a little higher. The tree would only be about 2 inches wide, so it would only be on one side of my arm to leave a lot of free space for a whole fucking bunch of stuff. I don't know if all of this would fit (and this where the artist is really going to have to come through for me) but some things I'd like to have would be:

- A limb cut from the tree being processed into money. Near the money have a decrepit poverty stricken homeless man and a business tycoon flaunting even more money.

- Somehow portray something expensive but good (probably a hospital) and something expensive and evil (probably a warhead) to show that money can be used for good and evil.

- Jesus as a marionette under the control of Titus Flavius and being enjoyed by an audience of G.W. Bush and Obama.

- Maybe somehow have Graham Hancock and Richard Dawkins close to each other in some sort of awkward ambiguous way so that you're not quite sure if they're together or opposing each other.

- Jacque Fresco somewhere in the collage


Then just above the top of the tree would be the curving horizon of the earth with Europe in view. Each country would be a different color, as they would appear on a map to draw attention to the fact that we, as a species, handicap ourselves by forming little cliques (countries). Just above the Earth's atmosphere would be a very ominous looking alien spacecraft. The whole point of this is something I always think about: why in the FUCK do we have countries? If a violent space alien invasion ever happened on Earth, I feel pretty confident the entire human race would come together to fight off the evil aliens, but we would be severely weakened from our entire history of not working together. We've halted so much potential progress. But then as soon as we defeated the evil aliens (lol yeah right) we would most likely go back to our dumbass little cliques again.

Around in the area of the aliens would be one of the old NASA space shuttles, then the moon above that. I'd like for the Mars Curiosity rover to somehow be in there. This would be well into my upper arm by this point. Above that would be some asteroids, then planets, then distant stars, then galaxies and the end. The blackness would just kind of fade away from my shoulder. As a whole, I'd want it to be extremely colorful. Like unnecessarily colorful. People could have blue skin and the tree could be all sorts of unnatural colors. Whatever it takes to make the whole piece pop like crazy.

I know that was a lot and it probably sounds really sloppy and crazy, but I'm just kind of throwing this description together. I actually have a pretty structured visualization of it in my head, but this post would be like 5 times longer if I went into all the details of it. But yeah, that is more or less what my sleeve would consist of.
