. . . it would look exactly like the grease mark, left by my bicycle's front gear sprocket, on the inside of my right calf, back when bicycle gear sprockets were greased.
I went to see the Minnesota Orchestra play in Excelsior last night - with a spectacular fireworks display over Lake Minnetonka afterwards. Maybe it was because I biked there - or because there was such a wide variety of tattoos parading past me as I sat listening to the orchestra - or maybe it was recently seeing Pretty Lady's lovely tattoo and then being reminded of Steven LaRose's one with all of its layers of meaning, or it could be, I was simply missing the good ol' days when we all used bicycle grease - for whatever reason, I found myself thinking about, and designing, my very own tattoo.

Celebrate your independence.
btw, A Cherry Note III seems to be participating with the background more than some others. It is almost comet like or spermatozoal. But still a cherry.
It isn't radiating light, or sucking it in. The light seems to be coming from the interaction of cherry and space.
The friction of existence?
Your comments really get at the physic-al nature of these things - I really like 'friction of existence.'

It took even me awhile to find but
here is the link.
