Thought you guys might appreciate it, most people think it's a gay pride symbol or are completely lost when I explain what it actually is. Still healing - the orange and yellow look the same but once healed it will be obvious they aren't.

It was short, but for sure the most painful tattoo i've had yet.

Wow, props dude - that's hard core! Think I'll just stick with the mnemonics I learned in tech school. I guess I'm a wimp too, lol.

This looks as it is an addition to a sleve. Colors seem to match.

By the way: there is gold and silver missing for tolerance ;.)

If he tolerated the pain involved in this, what's 10% deviation from value...  8)

I traded the labor of printing t-shirts for my friend's new shop for a tattoo of a friend who passed away's clothing company logo and I asked while he was doing it if he could quickly add the resistor code to my wrist. The colors do work well w/ the existing stuff that is a start to a sleeve. Here is my whole arm (i still have a lot to go on the sleeve, but buying music gear always takes priority in my life haha):

Very nice.

Now, you need to put the SMT resistor codes on your leg.  :-)

This guy most definitely has Q1 & Q2 tattooed on his nuts.
I mod cheap guitars because my local music store said not to.

It's from the album cover of Young Widows "Old Wounds" - it's the album that got me back into playing music again.
