so yours usually says "Wy" and you are asked why you got "why" misspelled on you?

I disagree! I think most sound tattoo decisions are made directly after (during) a bout of very heavy drinking

Hahaha this is the problem. Dom is not getting near drunk enough. And how long does it take to choose a good font?

If you have no eye for design? About 3 years.

If you ask a tattoo artist, who is an expert on these things? About 3 minutes.

Also, you'd have to be sure the artist can actually do whatever font you want.

No tats, Katy, sorry.

I was thinking of getting one. It would be a demon (black) and a phoenix (white) fighting each other, designed like a yin yang.

I was told to wait until I'm 30 before getting one. I'm kind of glad I listened.

Fishette's newest Ink. The flowers are our grandchildrens birth month flowers
Flowers are, from the top:
Violet and primrose
Snowdrop and carnation
Honeysuckle and rose

the picture is actually the wrong way. It is across the front of her left shoulder/chest. If it were turned 90 degrees counter clockwise it would be correct.

I just read online where a man's wife left him after he got a penis tattoo on his leg.

I can just imagine the conversation when she left. "But honey, you always said you wished I had a bigger ****."

Had a buddy who always said if he ever got a tattoo it would be of a rooster in a hangman's noose on his lower leg/calf. He said then he could claim to have a cock hung below his knee

Reminds me of the guy who got a $100 bill tattooed on his penis so that:

1. He could play with his money.
2. He could watch his money grow.
3. Next time his wife wanted to blow $100 she could stay home.

Lol Katy, I'm on vacation. The new semester is about to start. As soon as I'm settled, I will settle on a font!

Vacation is the perfect time to get a tat though.

If you are prone to skin cancer, check with your dermatologist before doing this. A few years ago I mentioned that I wanted to get one and was told that it would make it that much harder to see if a skin cancer was emerging. Given my history with skin cancer, I decided it wasn't worth the risk. Just a suggestion.

The youngest guppy got new ink yesterday. It was in remembrance of his Grandfather (My Father -In-Law). My FIL loved to fish and a lot of the boys best memories with his Grandpa involve fishing time. So, I thought it was great and fitting tattoo to get for him.

Haha, I just finished re-reading that book. Awesome quote. The Latin has the added bonus of making the tattooee seem smart. With the downside of having to explain it to everyone ad nauseum.

A tattoo raising a discussion is not necessarily a bad thing if a person is OK with that. Sometimes there is meaning behind it and the person enjoys talking about it.

Dom, Someone may have cited this earlier in this thread, but I saw it today on a Flipboard site I follow (it contains the Hemingway quote I mentioned seeing on a woman at a poker table). Many of them may not be suitable, but it's interesting:
