tribal silence o hushed tattoo

Well, this is one of the pieces I did for my college application portfolio, and at least some of these must have been good, since I got accepted.

I had fun, trying to think of things in shorthand that would look cool as tattoos, but not all of the markings are shorthand.

...if you can guess/tell at least three words/phrases I wrote on this, I'll do a sketch for you!

By the way, I used "o" in the title, because I couldn't fit "or"
so the actual title is "tribal silence or hushed tattoo"


And lastly: sketched on paper with pencil/eraser, scanned in, inked and colored in Adobe Photoshop CS2
