The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

CADD GIRL knuckles

Tatjanaturtle is (among other things) a designer, thus her great new “CADD GIRL” tattoo (computer-aided design and drafting)… This is one of my favorite “nerdy tattoos” to date I think, probably because I took so many years of drafting and architechture classes! Tattoo by Joy Rumore (The Milkmaid, LLC), at Venus in NYC.

    So, are the guidelines tattooed on there, also? Because I think that would be really cool for this tattoo (it is a drafting tattoo, after all…)!

    Tatjana: Yanno what’s sad. I knew that it was anime ace, not comic sans. I make posters at work, and so do 4 others in my office. My friend ed works with a lot of comic book styles and upon learning about the plague of comic book sans, he took to finding another writing like font, and thus anime ace came to our office.

    I still love the tattoo, i just love you more. 😀

    thank god its not in comic sans!

    at first i thought it was, but after looking closer its seems more of a drafting/architectural script.
