My co-worker got this stupid white girl trash tattoo. If you can't tell, and I can't blame you, it's an anchor turning into birds with a pink and blue watercolour splash behind it. It's about a week old at this point and it already looks like poo poo. And of course it's super deep and meaningful.  I tried to talk her out of it.

All this HoL talk and no one mentions all the wierd cipher stuff? How bout the red letter editions and all that? I just said fuuuuuck that, because I have way too much to do and can't be wasting time with that. It's cool, but not for me.

HOL is pretty cool because, from my experience with it, it was very hard to follow. Footnotes that took up three or four pages that were just a story being told by a dude. To put it into perspective, the book's main pages are the rambling investigations of a mad man who is obsessed with a movie made about a house that doesn't make any architectural sense. The footnotes are written by the main character, who found this book in his creepy neighbor's apartment after he passed away. Everything is all topsy turvy to represent a bunch of different pieces of paper that aren't just all put together neatly, it's like a binder of poo poo loosely connected together. So while reading it, some of the weirder stuff and non-sequiturs that could be relevant, as well as names I think may be important, I would write down into a little journal I had bought at Target to keep track of. It took a few dozen pages of doing this when I realized that I was now writing crazy notes about the crazy notes for the crazy notes about the crazy film made about the crazy house. I felt like the author had just dunked on me, for how often the footnotes-writer says "just put this book down man, or else you'll go crazy" and here I was with a book of different-colored pen ink trying to keep track of the weird poo poo in the book

My hope is an anchor and i need to remember to never sink and faith flys like birds so i should just surrender to blind worship and shun any actual hopes for myself or something like that

Reminds me of the time I went to a famous tattoo artist and asked for a portrait of John Shade and the artist inked Arthur Gordon Pym instead. Man, was that ever embarrassing!

How is that a reminder to not sink? You don't see a lot of heroin addicts getting tattoos of syringes after going clean.

For actual people who know what anchors mean, an anchor is about being steady and solid.

Or to be a lot more abstract and meme-y (so you eventually regret it and fit in this thread), you could go for a tattoo of a witch, a duck, a very small rock, and an anchor

Yeah, an object designed to sink and hold something from moving freely Has turned into :bigtran: I won't be held back, you can't sink me. That whole post needs to be read like a McElroy sadlibs where you pause with retarded emphasise on every reference. "I won't SINK... because I'm FREE AS A BIRD...so nobody will HOLD ME DOWN..." these tattoos need a big red circle with a cross out around the anchor.

I've pondered getting a simple anchor on my forearm because that was my grandfather's tattoo and he was pretty cool, but I probably won't.

As long as you don't throw text at it an anchor can be a cool tattoo. It's just all these idiots that misinterpret things and get watercolor anchors with scrolls that say unsinkable or whatever in terrible kerning that are poo poo.

Oh I'm not planning to not get it because it would be a bad tattoo. After thinking about it a bit I started leaning towards not wanting an anchor on my forearm, and the "this is the same tattoo Papa had" is a bit too literal and sentimental for my tastes. Who knows. It might happen if I decide to do a(nother) impulse walk-in some day. It's not on the "rejected" list of ideas.

On a positive note, if he gets into an emo cutting phase, he can use a razor to carve quotes around the word "Thanks" e: Welp, that's what I get for trusting a thumbnail Sentient Data has a new favorite as of 13:43 on May 10, 2016 |
