Text Tattoo

What better way to open a photography account than with a random picture of myself that doesn't even look much like me?

I love this one. The composition is really interesting. (And I love the sentiment of the ink.)

Thanks! :) The text is actually a Sophocles quote (from the play Oedipus) - my best friend in college had scribbled it down....so I have it on my arm in her handwriting.

i am actually thinking on getting a tattoo in the same spot
if you look at my pictures, my arms are pretty tiny

did it hurt much? i heard it is a sensitive spot

SaylaMarz says:

Didn't hurt nearly as much as I feared - do you have any other tattoos? They feel to me like pressing a fingernail hard into your skin and moving it slowly. Pain - yes, but not unbearable. I was worried about the underarm being ticklish, but it was only at the very highest spot.....I obviously wasn't moving much or the text would be a mess.

Christy Bindas says:

thats good then. nope i dont have any but i think that im going to get one this weekend possibly for my birthday. i really love the text as well

SaylaMarz says:

ooh what are you getting? The arm piece or something else?

Thanks. This is a Sophocles quote. My best friend died about 5 years back....this is a quote she had scribbled down - in her handwriting. I put it on my bicep for strength, left side for creativity, and inside so it would be close to my heart.

Christy Bindas says:

im going to either be getting "gree" in the same spot as yours or "stay strong kid" in that spot

gree is what i used to call my grandma. she passed away on nov. 16, 2006 and we were best friends. stay strong kid is what she always used to tell me when she was going through cancer

SaylaMarz says:

I really like the "Stay Strong Kid" idea - keeps you remembering not just the fact of her, but who she was, and what she taught you. A way for her to keep supporting you... It's really sweet.

SaylaMarz says:

do you have a good shot of it? I tried to nosey through your gallery, but I keep catching only the edges.
Posted 24 months ago. ( permalink )

GolKore says:

i have only one shot of it...for some reason i didnt post it yet, i dont know what i m waiting for (if to be frank- i think i m afraid someone will "borrow" my idea...) it sounds reasonable to u? :) i think i m confused... fuck it- i'll do it, very soon, promise!
Posted 24 months ago. ( permalink )

SaylaMarz says:

yeah - I've definitely seen tattoo borrowing.....but I've also seen two people coming up with very similar ideas.

I guess for me my tattoos are so personal I'd almost feel sorry for someone stealing them without understanding the meaning.

I've enjoyed your stream very much, and fav'd quite a few. Now that I've reached the beginning at the end, I just have to say (with a hint of silliness): you've come a long way, baby. You're a brilliant artist. I look forward to your latest and greatest.
