I'm getting a tattoo next Sunday, but I have had to switch my appointment on my artist about eight times. Normally I'm not so flaky, but two people have quit at work and I needed to pick up the hours since everyone else is still in training. Then I got sick, and had to do two rounds of antibiotics. Ugh.
I've been staying "in the rules" at the shop as far as switching the dates go, but I still feel terrible. I don't really have the extra money for a better tip, but would cookies for the shop be ok? Is this totally weird or would it be cool to be like, "I suck and I really appreciate you guys dealing with my crap because I know I've been a pain in the butt and I'm totes sorry."

There is some GREAT art around here, and I'm hoping I can get some help :)
I have discovered my bank account a little bit fuller than I was expecting so I would like to get one of my planned tattoos. I think "to thine own self be true" is better suited to the life phase I'm in, but I'd love some suggestions for font and placement. I don't tend to like anything too "Gothic" or scrolly in nature - I like a sans serif font.
As to placement - over my heart seems to make the most "sense" ... but how was healing? I'm a big girl with boobs to match, and I'm wondering how much the bra makes things worse :s
Also, is there any imagery that comes to mind that reinforces this idea? I'd be okay with text-only, and I could add imagery later... just thinking out loud I guess. Stylewise I'm a little bit in love with this artist, after discovering his page 5 mins ago ;)
Placement: how about the wrists? it's a lot of text for one, but I could put "to thine own self" on one side and "be true" on the other...? I dunno.
Thanks in advance for all your input! And if you read this far, I'll give you a not-so-text-only treat: my back and my right calf. 2 of the 6 tats I have currently, with plans for 3 more (including this one).
Also sorry for the crossposting ~blush~

Oh, that's right.
I've gotta get up at 8 tomorrow. And pull a shift at Coffee Strong.
And I'll be awake all night, since I slept this afternoon.
Hoooooooooo, fuck. That'll be a fun day.

Just out of curiosity, do you think it's lame or cool to get multiple tattoos in the same font?
I'm curious about your personal views of your own tattoos or would-be tattoos.

Glen "Big Baby" Davis eventually wants to play in the NFL.
( The article, behind the cut ... )
NFL, really?!? The tubby bitch is out 6 weeks with a broken thumb. How the hell is he going to gut it out on a gridiron? I find most amusement with the part about Glen's wishes to be great at basketball before he tries football. Mark him down for achieving that goal half-past never.
Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders, this guy is not.

It's .... It's 4:30. In the afternoon?
That means ....
It worked! Everything didn't catch on fire, and I didn't get a phone call an hour and a half after I got to sleep asking me to figure out WTF went wrong! (Like what happened the last three months.)
And my e-mail says the issue's already hit the streets!
I think this calls for cheeseburger. :)

Okay I'm finally getting around to finishing up my posts about this journey. We left IASC in Denmark and headed back for a night of R&R in Hamburg. Unfortunately Isa was left behind for the rest of IASC. Hey she's in heathen politics now over there with the Eldaring so that's the price you pay. She was on the IASC council. We took the train back from Denmark and mostly slept and played some cards. I couldn't even buy stinking beer for the trip because neither my debit card nor any of my credit cards worked in Denmark. Strange country that Denmark. I was glad to leave.

Hi all! Long-time lurker and occasional commenter, I have my first literary (and second overall) tattoo to share with you! I got it three weeks ago; the first two pictures were taken just after I removed the bandage, about four hours after I got it. The last one was taken this morning and is off-center because I took it on self-timer mode, haha. Anyway, I love it, it turned out exactly how I pictured it.
( Cut for big pictures, features my nekkid back )
It's from the EE Cummings poem "My father moved through dooms of love." I've been writing poetry since I was 12 and one of my majors in undergrad was creative writing; I'd been wanting a literary tattoo after ogling lots of lovely literary tattoos here and elsewhere but I wanted the quote to find me. I was reading a collection of Cummings's work and came across this poem, and the line immediately jumped out at me and I knew I wanted it. I sat on the idea for 4-5 months while I debated about font (settled on Lainie Day) and some other details.

i'm thinking of getting a quote from the sound and the fury by william faulkner tattooed on me. it's not extremely long, but it's long enough that i am struggling with a good placement, i guess.

So I went on a date Wednesday night.
I think I like him.
We are going out again on Sunday.
Knowing my track record with dating,
I suggest you all be
very,
very
afraid.
oye

So once again, Memee continues to tell me how selfish I am and how I am not doing a good enough job. And continues to tell me that.
