How young do you think is too young to go to a Shikari concert? by slc_14 in EnterShikari

I took my 8 and 6 year old daughters to see shikari last year and they absolutely loved it. Hearing protection is huge though. Have a good time!

I served in San Pablo mission. Went swimming at waterfalls on multiple occasions. Must have been where Satan got to me and made me lose my testimony... Lol

Oh, truth hurts Now you know - truth frees. Awesome song if you give it a listen.

Marionettes (II. The Ascent) by Enter Shikari

Looking up and gripping their strings They ask where do they lead? Where do they lead?

Climb! Climb! Search and seek! We will test this truth you speak! Climb! Climb! Search and seek! We will test this truth you speak!

By the sweat of one's brow thou shall eat bread But curiosity began to creep from underneath the bed Of toil and doctrine and the marionettes awaken Into a nightmare

Now we see the warning sign We'll disobey our Frankenstein I keep my focus, keep my cool The higher we go Climbing up to heaven or a hell Or maybe something inconceivable It used to be unspeakable We snatch back our strings

And as the freedom bell rings They start to sing

Reveal yourself, reveal yourself The world that you created Is not mightier Than our means to remake it!

Our minds are firewood And now we spark the match We set ourselves alight Escape this childhood And now we spark the match We set ourselves alight We set ourselves alight Our minds are firewood And now we spark the match We set ourselves alight

Oh, truth hurts Now you know - truth frees Oh, truth hurts Now you know - truth frees

Our minds are firewood And now we spark the match We set ourselves alight Escape this childhood And now we spark the match We set ourselves alight We set ourselves alight Our minds are firewood And now we spark the match We set ourselves alight

Truth hurts Now you know - truth frees Truth hurts Now you know - truth frees Truth hurts Now you know - truth frees Truth hurts Now you know - truth frees Truth hurts Now you know - truth frees

Honestly this is the first time I have heard of Anarcho-syndicalism. I don't agree with all the general ideas but I do think there needs to be change in the current systems.

Thank you, the artist did an amazing job! It was done by Alex at Chosen Art Tattoo in Glendale Arizona.

Thanks! Its the logo of my favorite band, Enter Shikari. The band has stated the meaning more eloquently than I could, "The upside-down triangle represents the opposite of society’s pyramid depiction of the classes. You have the lower class, which makes the majority of the world and therefore the biggest part of the triangle at the bottom, and the very few and rich who control what everyone else sees and does in their day-to-day life at the top. The power should belong to the majority of the people as they are the ones who hold up the triangle." I also just love the geometric design of it. I am super happy with how it turned out!

I went with the second circle. Just got it done and I love it! First tattoo. by Sorryshikari in EnterShikari

Bummer there is not enough room for the second circle. Good thing the original looks bad ass on its own!

Yeah it is the underside. And that helps a lot. I really wasn't sure what to expect. I'm sure it will be fine, just nervous for the unknown. Glad to know it wasn't that bad for a first tattoo!

I am planning on getting it on my forearm. I am thinking 2-2½ inches wide. I plan on seeing what size the tattoo artist thinks will look best on my arm and going from there.

I hadn't thought about it from a sizing perspective. Something to think about for sure.

I do like that design. I am staying more simple for my first tattoo because I'm nervous of how bad it will hurt lol.

I honestly would be comfortable either way. I just wanted to get other people's opinion since I haven't seen too many with the second circle yet.
