Very beautiful and the font/writing - sorry, I don't know how to call it- is rather original and aesthetic in the same time. Was it your idea or did the artist propose it to you ?

Thank you.. My artist came up with the font,but it was a bit more "swirly" than that,so we pared it down a bit,and came up with that...

The "Faster" on my other arm's more of a traditional "block print"... again,right arm,so hard to get photo...

Maybe someone will take a pic of the other tatoo, I'm curious .
I have decided to wait a whole year before having the tatoo I want (first tatoo so I think a bit of reflection is not totally useless, just in case I'd change my mind...) but I am already thinking about the choice of the font, hence my question. And this one is really wonderful (but too big for what I have in mind)
"More swirly" : whaou, I wonder what it looked like

Couldn't decide wheter or not to show the tattoo, but today it felt like a good day to show it. So here it is:

As I've said on Facebook, it's beautiful. One of the best Manics tats I've seen.

This is a rough idea for one which I knocked up - want the font to mimick the actual harley font but this will give the tattooist the basic and then I will let him take it from there.

I have Nicky Wire's autograph tattooed on my arm..... I asked him to sign my arm and told him I'll get it inked.

No regrets I still love it.

I've got ''anxiety if freedom'' on my left arm and in holy bible lettering I've got ''I talk to god but the sky is empty'' on my right arm, which when Nicky saw it said I had more balls than him for getting it done as he loved the quote, which seeing as I'm a lady is a lovley compliment. Also when I first showed James my ''anxiety if freedom'' tattoo he said how he felt his was inadequate compared in size, to which I did the childish yet makes me laugh ' Oh yeah and what about the tattoo?'' to which he laughed, was a glorious moment, just me and him stood outside the Birmingham barfly laughing like little girls.

I really wanna get ''Do not listen to what I say, just listen to what I can't keep silent'', think its gonne be a back piece, tattoos, to addictive

Just as I read that, James sang those exact words through my speakers...weird! I really want either "Find your truth/face your truth/speak your truth/be your truth" (or yr) or "Be pure/be vigilant/behave" somewhere but I've not got any tattoos yet and I'm scared. And I've gotta wait til I move out cos my mum would have me assassinated if she saw.
