Once Was Enough

I got the call.

Stood tall.

Now is my chance to get rid of this menace, once and for all.

"He's at home, boy.  It's now or never."

Respect from the boys and enough cash for new toys.

My first hit.

Exciting times.  About to take a life.  The man has a wife and kids.  They better not get in my way.  One warning shot is all I have to say today and I won't miss.

Nervously ridin dirty.  Blow one red light and I'm in prison until I'm thirty or more.  Fucking seat belt is stuck in the door.  I better pull over.

Need a smoke but I'm broke.  That clerk standing there looks like a bitch I can choke.

No.

In two hours I'll be rich.

Just get the job done.  Fuck all the fun, for now.  Walk into that house and go 'pow pow pow'.

Wow.

My heart's pumping to the beat of the song I hear thumping.  This is the place.  Calm down.  This isn't a race.

Kick open the door!  He drops from his couch to the floor!  His first shot missed!  Now I'm pissed!  You had one chance and I insist I bet you wished that hit me.

Click, click, click.  Was a gun jam part of your plan little man?  You're laying on the floor and here I stand a champion before taking out your pineal gland.

No more dreams for you.  My name's Mike, how do you do?

Pew pew pew.  Pew-pew.  Pew.

Turned around.  Bang!  Dead before I hit the ground.



My first tattoo.

Thought it would look cool.

Hurt like a bitch and now it's starting to itch.

I didn't do it to look tough.  Mike's death was no bluff.  But having it done was rough.

I better not be getting another.

I always thought it was for making your first hit, I did not know it was for a lost friend or family member. To much Hollywood I guess while I was aging. Definitely some sad vacant looking eyes on "Once Was Enough".

That tat can mean a lot of things. It can even mean you were raped in prison and the one who 'owns' you put the tat there. It can mean attempted murder if it's not filled in. On the left side could mean you killed someone. On the right side, not filled in, it could mean you want to kill someone for killing your friend or family. Filling it in then means you got revenge. There's probably more. And yeah, some get it to honor the dead they miss.

Do you think the character here got his revenge?

I think the character here, feels as if he lost something in an act of vengeance. He was driven to mete out what he thought was justice, and now knows he will pay for his act for the rest of his days. He feels he has no hope of redemption,

That is what I kind of see in the image.

Thanks for giving it some thought. I won't say what happened. The post was meant to make people think but I realize now many might not actually understand the different meanings behind the symbolism. I guess it doesn't matter though. Another quiet day here. I hope this changes soon. Thank you very much for stopping in again today.

You say it's quiet on a lot of your posts, what do you consider active? XD

There's a lot more behind that teardrop than I realised O_O glad I started reading comments again XD

It's very quiet. It has been hours since the last comment. I'm not sure how many people even saw this. Not sure if it was good, bad, meh... nothing. No clue.

Can't do much with art and imagery, or writing, if there aren't many eyes looking. Not complaining. It's just common sense.

I'm ink free so I wouldn't know but I've wiped out riding motorcycles and got road rash, so I assume it feels like that, just not as bad.
