Subgenius has a Deadeye
This tattoo was the second tattoo that I got. My first was a small tribal sun god I got in Flagstaff while I was working at the Grand Canyon. This tattoo, though, was inked at one of the oldest tattoo shops in San Francisco.
This tattoo is a three-legged gargoyle in the shape of a seven-inch spindle insert. The kind of spindle needed when the hole of a music record is too big to put on the deck shaft.
This tattoo represents my loyalty to Subgenius (see subgenius.com) or “Bob” and is the church of Slack. The central belief of thee church is the pursuit of Slack, which generally stands for the sense of freedom, independence, and original thinking that comes when you achieve your personal goals.
Subgenius is an organization for “mutants, blasphemers, disbelievers, rebels, outcasts, hackers, freethinkers” and generally people who consider themselves out of the mainstream of society.
For me, original thinking in making music is the highlight of what this tattoo means to me. Also the relation that music equals freedom, and my personal goal and central passion is to create good music. My current project is Deadeye. Check it out @ myspace.com/deadeye.
