Bah. You’re right. This is why I came here in the first place, to make sure I was doing it right. While I think that if I was just getting some Latin because I thought it was cool, word order wouldn’t matter (because it often didn’t back then) I want it to be the most correct and traditional, I mean I even found a font that’s based on Trajan’s…[Read more]

I’m pretty sure “est” stays in the middle because est is a transitive verb making Invictus a predicate nominative, where in that structure it remains a regular adjective. That would be “The Unconquerable Spirit is.” Instead of “The spirit is Unconquerable.”

So, I’m thinking of designs to go behind it, but in the mean time, I’m kinda stuck for fonts. What do you guys think would look good?

I love how you respounded to that horrible, horrible, suggestion and you were still nice about it.

For a serious suggestion, how about another bird? It would go well with your piece and it could be something you both get?

Get house cats. They’re awesome. And you can get it under your sparrow, so it flows.

Ya know, circle of life shit.

😀

Did you only want that stuff if they are religious tattoos, or any tattoos?

Aw c’mon guy. Words are awesome. They’re what separates us from beasts. And these words are ancient, beautiful sounding, beautiful looking, and have a beautiful meaning. Surely it can’t be that bad can it?

Nevertheless, thanks for the opinion, and any more to come. You guys always make me second guess myself. Which is never a bad thing.

One thing I do love about this place is that it makes me reevaluate my tattoo decisions every step of the way.

I’m a fan of text tattoos and I do like the whole quote. However. I have pretty small feet for something like that. lol. So I’m not sure this one is a good idea. I’m just so attracted to the quote on my feet.

Perhaps if I shortened it,…[Read more]

I meant the inside, not as in the bottom, but as in if you were to stand with your feet together, the parts that would be touching each other. You know, like the long part of your feet that are below the ankle bone.

I’m a bit concerned about the length as I said, but I was wonder if it would fade a little slower since that part of the skin rarely…[Read more]

Since this thread, I did call up my artist and tell him if he had time to draw up what he wants to do and what I want, so I can come in and compare them. I feel like I should at least see what he wants to do. Upon reflection, I do want something cool, and he does know more than me about ink, so yeah we’ll see.

My thing is, the image was drawn by…[Read more]

Well, I can understand that, but it’s not his artwork I’m looking to get, it’s the artwork of another person. This picture is from the novel Slaughterhouse Five, and it is a common literary tattoo, I’ve seen it before so I know it can be done and done well just the way it is.

But like I said, that doesn’t really concern me; I’m willing to…[Read more]
