Yeah yeah, tribal designs are cliché, but I think it looks pretty good. That sea of black was begging for an accent.
FWIW, the MacBook's paint HATES standard vinyl laydowns. You need to lay it down, then really really work it for at least 10 minutes with a soft plastic tool (credit card is okay), and as you peel back the disposable plastic layer, you need to your tool to make sure the vinyl sticks and doesn't peel up. After that it's all good.

Isn't logic swell? It gives answers without really answering anything!

Haha, yeah I know a lot of people will hate it and say I committed a crime against humanity... but I kinda dig it. =D Chances are I'll get bored with it down the line and remove it.

Yeah I like it, nice job! Did you use a sticker kit from somewhere? The one place I know of that does laptop stickers that are supposed to actually stick is Schtickers:
http://www.schtickers.com/
I also know Shattered Web does custom appliques, but doesn't recommend them 100% for laptops because they could peel off if your bag scrapes them off:

Oh man, I just noticed that there were like a million lighters there! I don't let people smoke in my living room so I make everyone drop there lighters on my desk so they don't "forget." =)
I just used a vinyl sticker from DecalJunkie.com. I wanted something that looked like it was "cradling" the Apple. Glad folks dig it!
