Continuing health~ma to your dad, Deena.
This is why I can't get a tattoo. I can't decide on something that's permanent.
Joyce: And what did you do tonight? Dawn: Irritated Giles. I'm beginning to get why Buffy likes it so much.
'Get It Done'
Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
All of my text tattoos use the same font (Ink in The Meat) as the base, but Mr. Loomy reworked that font for each of the three tattoos. The font for get out of your own way is slightly different than sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nuc, and if you care to find me look to the western sky is different than both of those.
Now I just have to get him to draw the next tattoo: a candy-filled jack o' lantern.
This is why I can't get a tattoo. I can't decide on something that's permanent.
The same reason Mr. Loomy doesn't have any tattoos.
The tattoo I want to get but never will is a Fall Out Boy lyric: my childhood spat back up the monster that you see.

Ooooh. I really REALLY like that.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
That is one of my favorite lines, ever.

Because books.
Pete Wentz writes a mean lyric. ::nods::
For a while I wanted to get "half doomed and semi sweet" but my therapist at the time said that was self-defeating.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
That therapist probably wouldn't like "one microscopic cog in a catastrophic plan" either, huh?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Deena, I am glad to hear your dad is doing better. Still sending out the dad~ma for him.
Tattoo-having people, what exactly is the creative process for the design? Since not everyone has has an in-house designer like Atropa has, what do you do if you have some sketchy ideas but no ability to sketch them? Will average artists work up a good design based on a sktechy description or can you only get that from rare geniouses?

A good tattoo artist should be able to take your vague idea and turn it into a fully-realized piece of art. This is why looking at a potential tattooist's portfolio is one of the most important things you can do. They also should be open to discussion with you, because you should be able to give feedback until you are 100% happy with the image.
I'm very lucky to have an "in-house" artist. I think the longest consultation I've ever had with my tattooist is about 15 minutes; long enough for him to hold the printout against where I want the tattoo done and tell Mr. Loomy if any sizing or lines need to be tweaked.

Thank you, Atropa.
Pondering a tattoo memorial of Sammie.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I think that's a good memorial.
At some point, I'll get one to memorialize my father-in-law who died last month. (And also a cat who died many years ago and look, it's multipurpose.)
Good thoughts for your Dad, Deena.
