I would like to get many more. I want an homage to Woody Guthrie illustrating this verse from “this land is your land” “As I went walking I saw a sign that said no tresspassing but on the otherside it didn’t say nothing that side was made for you and me” So I am thinking a guy w/ a guitar walking off into the sunset with the fence with the sign in the foregroun d and possibly the last 2 lines of the verse around it. I also want one od the orriginal illustrations from alice in wonderland. I am also in the process of losing weight so when I achieve my goal weight I would like to get a pin-up girl. There are a bunch more that I have thought of but these are the ones that have significance, some of the others I want I would get just because I like the art.

Yes it is painful, but it’s a forgetable pain so once it is done it’s like “oh that wasn’t so bad” I wouldn’t get something big for your first one. My first one took an hour and a half and it is on my back and my second took over 2 hours and it’s on the underside of my forearm. I didn’t find either to be overly traumatic the one on my arm was worse because all of the lines are very small and intricate.

Daredevil tattoos is the only one I know about, but you’d have to call them and see if they still are doing this time. I was planning on getting one too, I think it’s a fun idea.

I decided to get the typewriter because I wanted something “literary” I am a working on my Masters Degree in English and plan to go on to a PhD. I picked this particular one because George Orwell’s work has shaped me a lot as a person. It is hos work that first introduced me to socialist politics as well as inspired me to study literature. The Star is because I wanted my first tattoo to be political since I spend a lot of my time doing political work. I am a socialist so the red star was obvious and the raised fist as a traditional sign of resistance. I added the wrench and the pencil to the fist because I wanted to represent a wide range of workers and include student resistance since campus organizing is where I get my start in doing political work and to represent the bond between workers and students.

Pics are up in my profile. I have a typewriter on the underside of my forearm (the newest one) and a red star w/ a raised fist holding an wrench and a pencil on my back (my first tat).
