So I've got various tattoos I put on myself during high school in various garages, ah youth :/. None of them are that bad but still not necessarily what I would pick today. They're mostly on my left upper arm. I'm planning to do something to kind of hide the more "younger minded" ones and finish/touch up the big stuff that's not "hideable". When I do this I'd like to sneak in something flamenco. Any ideas?? Anyone seen anything they can describe?? There's the crescent moon but I feel like that's kind of for gitanos only, the other thought I had ages back was a clock with the 12 3 7 8 10 but now that kind of feels like a "noobie" thing to do, I don't really count anymore so why the numbers.....

- A big ham dripping with grease - if you're torino, there is a lot of interesting imagery there - An old Andalucian streetlamp. The farolero is not an uncommun figure in flamenco songs, and even with today's electric streetlamps, they've still got some pretty amazing aesthetics (even the fixtures) - Patterns of "chinos" that you see in so many old streets in Andalucia, patterns on Granadan ceramic, Moorish patterns you find on many of the old buildings - a nail to represent baile - a rosette with something in the middle, a cejilla maybe? - a portrait of estebanana looking grumpy - an indalo if you have some kind of connection to Almeria though that will probably bring the cultural appropriation committee out of the woodworks - a peg with a string wrapped around it - the word soniquete, preferably misspelled with a "k" - a picture of a ninja wearing a flamenco dress. La ninja de los peines. - if you do the clock, do it with some kind of mistake in the compas A dot on 2 instead of 3 or whatever - but really, a big ham dripping with grease!

I'm thinking of getting "Fakemenco" tattooed on my knucles, one letter per finger, fake on one hand, menco on the other.
