astercontrol:

me drawing a circuit pattern tattoo incorporating a whole bunch of symbols that have meaning to me:

…me realizing that if I don’t run this by my nerdy autistic trans girl roommate who makes her own vacuum tube amps, and have her basically redesign the whole image, I am gonna end up doing the circuitry equivalent of “get a tattoo in a different language that means totally the wrong thing”:

for anyone curious here are the symbols and meanings

batteries: plentiful energy
capacitor: stored energy
transistor: sharing and transmitting energy
alternating current: changes in energy
AND/OR/NAND/NOR gates: logic, reason
Recording instrument/speaker/microphone: creating art, sharing ideas
male plug/female plug/transformer: genderfluidity

…but. again. I am a guest in the house of electronics, and I offer these ideas in the full knowledge that they need the touch of someone who knows what the hell they’re doing
