My Eraserhead tattoo I got in honor of David
I always said I would never get a tattoo that was “from something”. I wanted everything I had to be an original design that the artist could put their personal touch into. But after David crossed over to the other side, I had to break my own rule. This just felt like the right way to honor him. It represents more than just one of my favorite movies. It stands for everything that went into the making of Eraserhead, the true DIY spirit, the uncompromising vision of the artist, the freedom of expression that David never let die. It’s my favorite tattoo and I look at it when I need to stop and remember that despite how shitty this life can be sometimes, there is still beautiful art being created everyday.
