Thank you Brice!
This is for you:
That's okay! Cause all 5 of them above were for and directed at you and your bad taste. Here have another.
Ok, I know when I'm not wanted.
*siiiiigh* FINALLY!

Yeah, we love you Monte...with some fava beans and a nice Chianti. Back on topic...Monte are thinking about getting a Dark Tower tattoo?

@ erin, thank for the compliment, a dark tower 1/2 sleeve would be awesome. i would love a little more room to breath, but i understand that not everyone can be heavily tattooed or have visible tattoos. i also have ALOT of clientel from kentucky since its such a short drive, and i usually subtract traveling expenses from the final price with my out of state clients.
if you're really serious, then it is best to contact me early as i am usually booked about 3-4 months in advance.
i am also a person who likes to be well informed, so chances are im going to go out and pick up insomnia this afternoon since my all day appointment canceled an hour before he was due today.
@ jayson, thank you for the kind words as well, i can see how one could become distracted trying to read between the lines of insomnia then immediately finish the The Dark Tower. and that is what im trying to avoid. but im also an obstinate bastard, so im likely to do the opposite of whatever is recommended. i just wish i knew for sure if the contents of insomnia are important to rolands quest for the Tower. if so, i will read, if not, i will probably never pick it up, save maybe as an audio book later down the line.
@ monte, is it a farce because its too upsetting for you to believe, or because it really makes no sense to the storyline.
so is the crimson king from insomnia a different incarnation from the one in the Dark Tower series, does the Tower have any relevance in insomnia other than the little boy painting a picture of roland and the crimson king trapped in the room at the top. and is the little boy supposed to be some other kind of metaphor for stephen king himself.
im sorry i have so many questions, i just dont want this story to wind up roont.
Nothing will wind up roont. Nothing in Insomnia is neccessary to the DT really. There are some references and connections between the two, but both can be thoroughly enjoyed without the other.
I will suggest that at some point (before or after) you read Insomnia though.
so i picked up insomnia this afternoon and have put the Dark Tower down temporarily. if for no other reason than to merely extend the journey. its been many years since i first read "The man in black fled into the desert, and the gunslinger followed.", and im not all that anxious to reach the clearing at the end of this path.
i am excited to read some of the other threads on this site, and get different opinions of the series, but im terrified of spoilers, so they will have to wait.
roughly back on topic though, aside from the DT tattoos i want to do, ive also decided to do a series of DT paintings and possibly show them in NYC if i could find an understanding gallery. if anyone is interested in obtaining either i can be reached through my links in my previous post.
HOW CAN YOU NOT READ THE REST OF DTVII????
You are a stronger person than I am, my friend.

Just to go back on topic some tattoos I found with google:
Roland would have understood.
I would like to get my entire back done. I say that like it's a large area, but I'm tiny so it's not that big.
But yeah. I know a few things I want in it, but I'd like to find a good artist who has read the series so that they understand the books and the way things should flow. I haven't found anyone within 2 hours of here, so my next stop is Atlanta, GA when I have enough money.
In between now and then, I may get the Eld symbol, but done with scarification.
Letti, that third pic of the Tower on the back of a leg. I am pretty sure I know the owner of that leg! ;-)
She's a SKEMER that lives in New Jersey!

Spoiler:
Wow, you are lucky, CRinVA. Let her know that her leg and her tattoo amaze me.
Roland would have understood.
I love the second one in that post, makes me want to get one sooo bad! When I get the cash.... some day soon
My quest continues...
"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."

i've been toying with the idea of the ka symbol and a rose on the pointer and middle finger on my right hand (palm side)...
in rememberance, ya know.
but we'll see if i can get the guts to do it.
it would be my first tat, but i know i would REALLY love it.
