My new BR tattoo!!!

I've been planning this for my 30th for over a year now!  This is my first tattoo and I LOVE IT! It's the start of the "I can believe" quote from Neil Gaiman's American Gods (full quote here) -

image

So here's a story about how Goodreads can SUCK MY BALLS: this quote is listed on Goodreads multiple times, INCORRECTLY. My foot is correct - "I can believe things that are true and I can believe things that aren't true..." and on Goodreads it takes out the second "I can believe."  I was thinking, while on my way to get the damn thing, that I could just look it up on my phone to double-check the exact wording, and then decided no, I should probably bring the book itself.  Thank the tiny baby Jesus that I did!!!

Re: My new BR tattoo!!!

  • Very cool!  Did it hurt?  It's illegal in Illinois to get a tattoo above the neck or below the ankle (at least it was when I looked into getting one in college).

  • I love BR tattoos! I have wanted one forever but I'm too chicken lol.

    GR has been disappointing me a lot lately. Every time I try to add a (correct) quote it adds it to a random other book or doesn't save it and then I have to have a librarian fix it for me.

    WTF?!?  That's dumb!

    I heard sooo many people tell me that the foot is the worst place and I was totally freaking out.  I know the guy I went to was excellent and had a very "light touch," but it really was not that bad at all.  I was chatting to my BFF through it no problem.

  • Love it!  I really like the placement and how is curves around and across.  I've also heard that foot tattoos were some of the worst, so I'm glad to hear that it wasn't too bad for you.  I'm maybe a little twisted in that I really love the pain of getting a tattoo.  Something about that buzzing, burning feeling is completely awesome, IMO.

    When I got mine on my ankle, it was so sore every morning for the first few days - do you have that?  Like, it hurt to put weight on my foot when I woke up in the morning.  Are you having any of that?
  • love it!

    No!  In fact it's making me nervous that it hurts so little... like, did he push the ink down deep enough? LOL!  If I actually press hard on it, it's definitely tender, but that's it.

    And I kind of know what you mean about the pain... I mean I would NOT go so far as to say it was "awesome," but there is definitely a kind of twisted satisfaction to it!
