Symbol on the chest looks like something from Comand and Conquer.

Matt, it's not hard, I have never taken you seriously.

Except when there's lulz to be had at me stressing out :(

And aye, it's Commander Slavik from the Tiberian Sun game :E

And I headbang better than you, Chewi. I have the hair to go with it. Even Marna was jealous of my hair. Don't know if that's a good thing or not, likes.

Rapunzel had the hair but that didn't mean she was any good at headbanging.

If you mean headbanging then I certainly can't do it sober. Need at least one drink to grease the joints a bit. Preferably more. I don't do it like I used to though. The last thing I want is arthritis in my neck by the time I'm 40.

I think a neckbrace and a cane. counts as a makeover.


it get migranes every once in a while.
I havent found all of my triggers but I know that headbanging is defiantly one of them.
I dont do it seriously tho, just jokingly...each time the joke has cost.

another trigger can be found in the first 15 minutes of the animated iron man movie in the cave scene.
theirs either a sound or some light pattern in there there, that I just cant deal with.

James Le Cuirot, the natural metalhead!

But I think you'd suit a skull and crossbone tattoo though, like Johnny's avatar.

But if you don't want tattoos then that is your choice...am just half and half when it comes to tattoos.

I'd have to agree with Mik on that one, haha!

No. I meant that whilst I like the idea of getting a tattoo, I'm a abit nervous. I think they look nasty on any old person, and if the tattooist fucks up there's nothing you can do but have it removed which is more painful. On the other hand, even though henna tatoos don't last and are painless, it is messy and they no where near as colourful.

I would stay the hell away from henna.
theirs a probably a specific kind that's ok, but I don't know which one that is.
so stay away from all of it

it could fuck you up worse than any real tattoo ever could.

It depends on what type of henna you go for. I was chatting to Marna about it on a previous topic. I have found that the 'real' henna or hina as it's called, is used alot in "Bridal Mehndi". Here is something I have pulled up on Wiki:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henna

Henna is brown or orange-red in colour, not black. Quite a number of people are actually allergic to black henna (PPD). It is alos found in certain hair dyes in the UK. My response to this? Skin test, skin test, skin test. If you don't test 48 hours beforehand of using the product you are a fool. I myself am not allergic to PPD, but an allergy CAN develop. That's why before I use henna, even the Lawsonia inermis henna (real henna) I always skin test it.

On another note, some henna products that claim to be "black henna" or "natural henna" may actually be derived from indigo. So always check with what ya buying. If ya not sure DON'T PURCHASE IT!

It's true, it can develop. Marna wasn't always allergic to PPD. The reason it developed makes my blood boil.

I have seen bad cases...not in pictures, in RL. One particular incident was one girl who came in my parents local hair salon (I get my hair cut their). She had bought a hair dye and didn't skin test. This was a month ago and her skin was bad! I hate to think what her skin would've been like a month before she came in...her scalp was seriously scarred.

It makes me cringe and shudder to think that you can develop an allergy just like that.
