I have always wanted a tattoo.
But I am such a chickenshit.
I don't think I would have a
problem with a name no matter
how it went down the line.
It would have been real and
pertinent in the moment.

Maybe when the pain-free
model arrives :-)

I've thought about names only in two forms of them,,as a loving gesture to show on me,,
one,,,my kids names,
two,my already past,best friends,,within a heart and chain,thats broken,,showing them now free of this life?
BUT no ladies names,,as they do leave most times,,at some point in life,,to be,,like who's THAT,,,NO,,,DON'T need that headache,,,lol

As someone who has done quite a bit of tat design and still am practical enough to have actually paid attention to tattoos and age progression.....

Lettering on skin ages poorly. (unless it is huge lettering)

Symbols and figures can age well when done right.


I do not believe that lettering or dates in any form belong in a great tattoo. I always try to talk them out of it. That is simply my preference and dont hold anyone else to it.


Then again, when I actually draw what I like to draw...naked women, I rarely draw tattoos on them.
