You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Huh. I never thought about initials but I think I'd kind of like that.

I'm also thinking about a tiny paw print but I can't decide where. I want it tiny and not obvious, because really I want it just for me, but at the same time I want it somewhere I can see easily. I kind of want the inside of my wrist but I'm also thinking maybe the side of my heel? I don't know.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

if you could predict that, you'd never get anyone's name tattooed

Well, no, if you could predict that then you'd know who was going to do it, and you could just get everyone else's names tattooed on you.

However, if you mean that having that as a condition means you don't have anyone's names tattooed on you...well, stuff happens.

Punishingly Intricate

When Frank does finally go, I'm going to get a tattoo in his honor. I have one of my old cat Stinky on my left hip. For Frank, I always thought I might get something based on the portrait of him my friend did in a pumpkin one Halloween (and then redid the following year in a fauxkin).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

True, true -- if you knew who the future serial killers were, you could avoid tattoo-level relationships, regardless of actual kinship or whatever.

Your own name is on my short list of names appropriate for tattoos.... Others: parents, children. Only blood relatives!

I totally agree. But I am still trying to get Noah and Grace in Hebrew!

Noah and Grace will always be related to you. Therefore, I approve. (Although I do have some qualms about getting tattoos in alphabets you don't read...)

Grace phonetically or the word translated?

But in Hebrew Grace's name, translated, is an anagram for Noah!

xposted with Hil: translated.

Using Chain for Grace and Noach for Noah? t edit: which is cool, though translating Grace in the feminine form would be Channah, which makes the anagram thing not work.
