    Man, that is one beautiful design. I hope that whomever I can plead with to design my next tattoo does half as nice a job on it as you've done there.

    I got one of them there tattoo things already that I love very much, though.

    It look-a like dis:

    i am strongly considering getting the quote "i am large, i contain multitudes" by walt whitman tattooed on me. it would be off-center on the left side of my chest stretching onto my shoulder. is this a stupid tattoo? i seek input.

    (also because i am a big nerd the comma splice in the original printing bothers me and i might change it to a semi-colon or just do 'i contain multitudes')

    Man, I think that's a great idea for a tattoo.

    Although I might just do "I contain multitudes" just for space considerations and to get the fat jokes out of the way.

    E: says someone else with a literary tattoo

    If you are comfortable with it being on your body then get it done.

    I ain't one to judge.

    the thing i'm struggling with mostly is the typeface and whether to do any more intricate designwork to accompany the text

    i like the idea of just text though

    Apparently the in thing to do right now for bogans is no longer get the southern cross tattooed onto your arm (because all good bogans already have that) but to tattoo your surname in ye olde timey fonts across your back.

    Trying to weigh the potential for too much cliche-ness of getting a skull with a vine growing on one side, or a branch coming out, and a seedling out of one eye socket, and a rake and shovel crossed under it. My gardener pirate emblem! Also it would be on my shoulder

    also at that show ira glass was onstage, hammered, and started heckling random people. that was a weird night.

    I can't even imagine what a drunk Ira Glass would be like.

    I have a tattoo on my shoulder. It's an Octopus that was taken from some promotional material Mike Mignola did for Hellboy. I wouldn't mind getting more tattoos, but I don't know what else I'd get.

    i once went to this weird comedy show of sorts where, at one point, a tattoo artist offered to tattoo eugene mirman's face onto any takers through the duration of the show. and someone accepted! no shots to eugene, but that is not a face i want to look at every day.

    also at that show ira glass was onstage, hammered, and started heckling random people. that was a weird night.

    I heard about that show on This American Life!

  • satansfingerssatansfingers Registered User regular
    it was this show during the 'eugene mirman comedy festival' called 'the drunk show.' it was a bunch of people onstage getting drunk, basically, as they played a series of ridiculous games based on the 12 steps of AA. ira glass overdid it before getting onstage, and then proceeded to lose several games and get progressively hammered as a result of the games played. john hodgman and rachel maddow were there. eugene mirman, as a russian, dominated.

    A surprising number of people would get a tattoo that they can't choose if it was free.

    There have been studies about it and stuff.

    somebody commented that ira glass, as part of this american life, had heard stories from people of all walks of life, but when a sober comedian came on and discussed living with his parents he just couldn't hold it together and continuously mocked the guy.

    If he wants the elephant to look 'tougher', he should have the tattoo artist put a barb wire wrap around the elephant's trunk.

    I would probably get the cymru dragon if I could think of a good place to put it. My back is reserved, and I have ideas for an arm band and a back-of-calf tattoo.

    I might could put it on my other arm, or on my upper chest or something. Maybe.

    it's a cool tattoo but get it right over your dick, with a linebreak so 'i contain multitudes' is across your nuts

    I need to have it touched up as it faded a bit after it healed - but I expected that, having so much black on it.
