#Let’s talk about all the good things you want tattooed on your (pause…) body#
Everyone likes words don’t they! I’ve got a couple of favourites myself: Slippery is one them, bulbous is pretty high up on the list too, as are artichoke, crumbs, flaccid, tubular, shazam (is a word) and shuffle to name but a few..
I could go on but I really shouldn’t, I can’t afford to get too excited at my ripe old age and none of them appear in the following set of photos anyway.
Next is a “titty-tatt” on the beautifully cursed and happily curved Stacy, by Manuel, Tattooed Planet, Tempe, AZ.

The last in this series isn’t strictly text, ok it’s not text at all but I though it was quite cute.
Whilst James was employed as an EMT he managed to smuggle his wife into the hospital he was working at, perform an EKG on her, secrete the graph paper in a hollowed out Ohmeda 4700 OxyCap Pulse Oximeter Monitor (he’d planned this months in advance, obviously) then vanish like a pair of wrinkly ninjas before anybody noticed..

Aww, the EKG one is very sweet! Favorite words for me: facetious, globular, reticent and hellish.

Dear lord, I love that last story. And I dig the way that “stand your ground” wraps around that neck. I have a page of quotes and words I want to get in the future. So far I have “the wind below,” “el fuego y la palabra,” “all crowns will fly, all thrones will fall,” “for everyone, everything,” “libertad” and “speak, remembering we were never meant to survive.” Up next: “kitsch” and i’m contemplating Keats epigraph: “here lies one whose name was writ in water”

I hope those breasts are real, because if they are not, I’m going to be really pissed.
The tattoo is beautiful though.

I’m quite partial to “rump”, “devour” and “slaughter”. RRrrrrrrrump!

I had wanted to get an EKG of V-tach (a form of cardiac arest) somewhere on me since I had Supra Ventricular Tachacardia, Under stress my body would go into V-tach.
Though I don’t think I like the curvs one, personaly I don’t think Cute is What We Aim For has a lyrical quality for ink on me

I’m getting “Awake & Arise” (from John Milton’s Paradise Lost: ‘awake, arise, or be forever fallen’) tattooed this month on my collarbone
next will be “Rule every moment, Seize every day” on my stomach (from Shai Hulud’s ‘Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens’)

I would love a textual tattoo.
Can’t decide on what to get though.
Very sad.
sad. sad. sad.

I don’t care if the breasts aren’t real, they’re very nice. I haven’t heard that song in ages though 🙁
The rest are very nice also but the ekg one makes me smile and go “awe”.

I like “Kamikaze” cuz of someone I knew who commited suicide – and I call them my kamikaze hero because without them I would be dead…
**Kamikaze in this case means wreckless with suicidal intent, the most modern meaning — not divine wind, or the bomber pilots….

I love Spaced!
Apologies for shattering your illusions everyone, but there’s absolutely no truth to the last part of this post, I made it up (although it is an EKG of his wife’s heart rhythm and he was an EMT). I don’t want him getting into trouble for pinching office supplies :p

the EKG is a pretty sweet idea.
im looking into getting Aude Sapere somewhere on me. either that or the english meaning, dare to know. idk, im a fan of latin and wish i could speak it. but its one of the few tattoo ideas i would actually want people to see, so i might go english. but i just love the way aude sapere sounds…
