That's sad ^^
He's going on the same path as Ben Harper, he's gonna end up with a whole tattooed body: looking weird now, looking freaky in a 20-year from now. You can't erase those ones

This thread seems to have died out. As far as john's new tattoo goes, it seems to be a move toward his creative inspiration. John has said that he
doesn't see the correlation between getting a tattoo of great significance and it being accepted. He gets tattoos because he "likes" them. This
was explained in an interview I saw recently, but as far as the sleeve goes, I get the feeling he won't do too much more.

Umm, A for effort, but why revive a thread that's been discussed to death?
♥Kristin maybe I'll tell you all about it

Can Someone please help me out here, I swear that looking through this photo album (http//rosenauer.dk/photos.php?aid=526&title=0620-John-Mayer-Falconer-Salen)
John seems to have added color to his tattoo sleeve. I thought it might be the lights at first, but the color of the flower on his elbow is distinctly blue in
every picture. Compare them to this pic taken a while ago( http//cityrag.blogs.com/main/jmt1.html). Am I just seeing things??
Respectfully, JJ

Nope, he's been adding color for sure. I think we were talking about this in the Random thread if I'm not mistaken, it might be the Picture thread
though.

I wonder where he is going to get this done, there is some really complex artwork there.

I really dig the added color - it could have been too bright, but I think the colors he went with are perfect and blend in well with his other tattoos
(although I am a little sad to see the "homelife" tattoo not be able to pop out as much). Does anyone know what kind of flowers those are?

The flowers are Peonies. Traditional in Japanese artwork.

They are (also) peonies, a flower commonly used with koi fish in tattoos (as JM has).
As to meaning, this is what I found: PEONY TATTOO "With its large and spreading red petals, which are delicately curled at the edges, the peony has been called in Europe "the rose without thorns"... Although often depicted in tattoo imagery in deep red, it is today also cultivated in white, varying shades of red, and even yellow. But the principal association in tattoo work is not western but rather eastern, where flowers take on a distinctly different set of meanings. In the ornate, complex, and extensive body coverage that is typically involved in Japanese tattoos, it may seem as though entire gardens could appear. But the floral repertoire of traditional Japanese tattoo is not as extensive as it might first appear. We can say though that among the select flowers that are used is the peony, a flower with a very long history (as much as 4,000 years) in China and then in Japan. For the Chinese it was regarded as a symbol of wealth, good fortune and prosperity. In Japanese culture, it symbolizes much the same. In addition though, since the peony is part of an old Japanese card game (reported to have been played by gamblers sporting tattoos), it also suggests a sort of gambling daring and even a masculine devil-may-care attitude, quite unlike its character in the west." KOI TATTOO "...Based on these legends, it became a symbol of worldly aspiration and advancement... In tattoo imagery, especially in combination with flowing water, it symbolizes courage, the ability to attain high goals, and overcoming life's difficulties." http://www.tattoosymbol.com/articles/peony.html http://www.tattoosymbol.com/articles/koi.html

It looked great without the color but now that I see it with color it looks even better. Nice work.
Don't open that door.
