Playing the guitar is my passion and im so grateful ive found it, I look at all music as a universal language which can portray thoughts & emotions without words being said, i love nothing more than to sit alone in my little world distant from everything & everyone and strum away carelessly, at times i can get so deep into my music and as cheesy as it sounds, I've managed to squeeze out these tear drops of Joy by hitting certain harmonics and melodies, and yeah giving yourself goosebumps is one special feeling, this is definitely my meditation, my way to keep intouch with the fairground inside, you need to get on it!!! i guess it has to be the connection to this so called inner source which is kicking about the cosmos, the divine light, the OM, or just "THE".  What ever it is, i love it and I'm addicted to it, so i'm gonna "keep going" and see where it takes me. 

Spiritual Tattoo

Finding the right tattoo & artist is always gonna be hard decision for anyone, especially as we all know they 'live forever" on a one way road with no no returns, they can totally transform the look of a person and character which creates fear for most, i feel it can work a little like the human metamorphosis, if you get it right.  I got my first tribal tattoo at the age of 17…i didn't get it right, i was loving characters tattoos from the 90's manga computer games such as Tekken 2 & Street fighter , i thought this style of tribal warrior looked rudeboy, and yeah i wanted one, then the day came and I remember it very well, it was the day England lost there English Rose Princess Diane, the UK came to tears that "Sunday Morning" it was all over the news, papers and pretty much everyone was talking about it, anyway that afternoon me and 3 of my best mates got together and started chatting breeze whilst drinking a few Jd's and got a little sentimental about the whole ordeal, so we all decided today was the day were gonna to get a tattoo, so off we bowled to the local tattooist on the Kettering Rd in Northampton, had a look at a few designs took about 30 mins to decide what i want and where i want it :) here's my £50, then there it was…….. boom my Power Ranger looking Sign!! me and my mates all went under the ink gun that day and all still have the scars and story to prove, we all felt like a pack of the dogs ballbag's by the end of that day.

Yeah so you can imagine After this trying to choose a tattoo for me became hard as i wanted it be right, not just a quick lets do to be cool and be in fashion thing, it had to have meaning, depth & truth behind this ancient spiritual ritual.
