especially when they make a really shitty sequel to the movie and then it becomes a laughing stock.

i wanted a monkey but couldn't find any designs the interested me, but i thought the 12 monkeys monkey looked cool. however, i didn't want it to be that monkey because i wasn't getting it because "omg 12 monkeys roolz", i just liked the way it looked. so i brought it to the guy and said i want something like this but different enough so when people see it they won't think "12 monkeys!"
and thats what he drew and i liked it. obviously some parts are pretty different, like the face, but i liked the way he went with it. we went back and forth a few times on some little changes in the face. i have a picture of it earlier and the face is really jagged and more demonic looking, and i wanted more smooth lines. i guess it made it a little more berenstain bears like, but whatever.
i'll probably eventually get it shaded and stuff to give it some depth
i also didn't want it just all colored in like the 12 monkeys monkey, like this one

if he did that with what he designed it probably would look more like an inkblot.

so theres no real meaning behind it, just that you wanted a monkey on your back and it 'looked cool' ?

me and some friends from hs have an inside joke between us about monkeys
also i figured since people get things like a cross for god, a monkey can be for evolution.

So you hide your racism on your back.

If were forced to get a tattoo, my three choices would be.
1. The Sign of the Dollar
2. The All-seeing eye (maybe in the middle of my shoulderblades - wouldn't that be clever - like someone watching my back??!!!!
3. Flying Spaghetti Monster

i like the tattoo but 12 monkeys was the first thing i thought of when i saw it.
I love him. He's like those happy old people who become known for sitting by the side of a busy street and waving to passing cars. People drive by regularly and beep just to see him and get him to wave to them.
That's just like our Arpi... except he doesn't wave or anything. He just says mean things to you.
