I have a tattoo of the Strapping "faux-chinese symbol" logo on my right arm, it's just all in black and about 5 inches high... thinking of adding to it to make it more interesting, even though I do like the look of it as it is. I often get asked what it means, to which I answer STRRRRRAPPING YOUNG LAAAAAD! Then again, I could answer that it means "Zen", "Spirituality" and "Love" all in one

yeah, a pussy alien from Canada.



busy as all git out...talk soon y'all!

haha nice, well if we're gonna define ourselves by our tattoos (which i guess we already did when we got them) id be a DTB SYL obsessed flaming infinity/yin-yang dripping with water, samurai training in a rising sun behind bamboo........................... yes. thats me.... advice for anyone wanting nice freehand job, go to Ubud-Bali and see Lionk at creative tatoos... he did this job and i love it... poor him having to watch his beatuiful artwork walk out the door - http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1 ... =727924129

DTB SYL obsessed flaming infinity/yin-yang dripping with water.... wow i had a similar concept for a tattoo yin/yang syl/dtb fire/water !

Syl tatto today:) My arms looks shiny and cooooooooool

SUPERDUPERAWESOME!

Got mine today http://imot.kuvat.fi/kuvat/Sauna%20Open ... e.jpg/full It's on my right leg.

I am still looking to get a new tattoo when I return to Canada in less than a month. I am not sure what I want to get yet. I am thinking of the Ki symbol on my right arm to mesh in with the rest of my tattoos I have taken in Canada. Or go really out there and get a maple leaf. Har har.

hey mates, check mine as well:



got it about a week ago and happy with that.

PS - it might be a filehosting only for russian IP's, so say if you can't see a sh*t.

^ Thats amazing. Probably the coolest SYL tattoo I've seen!

thanks bud, glad you like it.

Haha! That is a sick SYL tat.

I guess since we're on the subject...



As much as I love strapping young lad, I don't know if I will always be a fan, whereas I think I will always be a Devin Townsend fan.

got this one a couple of years ago.

As soon as I'm 18, it's SYL symbol on my arm, infinity moth on my back and Ki kanji somewhere else.

Dev's had an influence on artists as well.

Has been used several times for inspiration. Particularly, notice the image on the shirts and flash of world renowned portrait artist Bob Tyrrell:

This is just the latest incarnation of the image. I first noticed it years ago on one of his shirts that I cannot find a picture of.

.. i dunno

It would be better if I could find the original shirt. The one above is the 2010 version. The image has changed (mostly decomposed) over the years. It was based on the photo above. Speaking to Bob and viewing the original shirt image would confirm this.
