i let my brother, the emerging tattoo artist, do some work on me today. it had been an idea in my head for some time, but i finally acted on it when i saw how much better he had gotten and that he had acquired a professional gun

i like that, thats clever!

how much did it hurt and how long did it take?

[matachin_tower]

the first took about 30 mins the other took about 45. it really didn't hurt that much except for a couple times when i was in a position when my tendons were flexed. i just had to stop and readjust my position.

it's rather nice to have an artist in the family. when he gets better who knows? it has a rather addictive quality to it like piercing does.

parents were amused.

That is the area I intend to get mine. On the left, maybe: Nil sine magno vita labore dedit mortalibus. On the right, no idea.

Still undecided though.

[matachin_tower]

a true phrase.

have you considered my favorite phrase in latin?

nulla in mundo pax sincera

i think i will have that done next, but as to where...

[iheartoothecae]

I don't know. I'm not sure if I want a constant reminder of things that make me sad. I mean, I kind of already have that, you know?

That said, so far my first choice for the other wrist is:

Hominis tota vita nihil aliud quam ad mortem iter est.

...I should probably look into shorter sentences. My wrists aren't really that big.

[matachin_tower]

well, true, although vivaldi chose it as the title of his beautiful piece believing in the afterlife, so it means something completely different to me (and i imagine you.)

what do you think of this?

O vita ! misero longa, felici brevis

oh, so many choices! this is nice.

yes, hehe, your wrist is short and many a latin phrase long.
