Friend who does nothing but talk about how much she loves books and reading and Stephen King just got a Dark Tower (her favorite book) quote for her first tattoo. Much like literally everyone else on the internet, she got the quote wrong. I posted this screenshot before she flipped out in the comments and messaged me to tell me that I ruined her life. Here's a bunch of people doing the same: https://www.google.com/search?q=go+...W5CB64Q_AUIBigB

I think if you're getting a quote with no other artistic elements in the tattoo it's unforgivable to not get it exactly right. If it was wrapping around a banner or done in some interesting typographical way I wouldn't care. It's also not a grammatically correct sentence with the comma.

That drat Satyr posted:I would like to see this, bad or good. This requires too much explanation, but here it is. Long story short, my wife booked an appointment with a "famous" artist and I figured I'd get something at the shop we were traveling a long distance to just to help justify the trip. I wanted something HoL themed, and at the time, women wearing animal cowls was popular, and I really dug the general aesthetic. So the idea I discussed with the artist was a young boy, wearing a bull cowl (referencing King Mino's son and the legend of the Minotaur), surrounded by ash leaves (Yggdrasil/the eponymous tree), and the vein patterns of the leaves were to be in a maze pattern (obvious reasons). What he drew up had more or less nothing to do with what we discussed and I painstakingly detailed throughout several email exchanges. I still liked the outline so I was just like gently caress it whatever let's do it. That's my cool story. The lesson here is if you don't like something then don't feel pressured to get it, it's your money. e: I don't know where this motherfucker got the idea to add acorns from.

Nitrox posted:Looks like he tried enough. It's up to you to correct the design, especially if you're going back and forth over period of time. You approved it, have fun with it now. Don't see anything tasteless about it Yes that's why I posted a "moral of the story" at the end. But trust me, we went back and forth a bunch ahead of time and I was very explicit about the individual elements and why they were what they were, etc. When the outline was presented to me, it was SO far off from what I requested, and I was in a situation where revisions weren't really an option (convention), I was fine with just getting it as is since I did like the design he came up with. But yeah it's not tasteless, and I did end up liking it. I just posted it since the topic was dumb book tattoos.

I'm halfway through One Rainy Day in May and so far it's been pretty exhausting, but I'm enjoying it nonetheless. He is a good storyteller, sometimes it just feels like he's trying wayyyy too hard. That said, there's usually a payoff for sticking it out, so I'm looking forward to see where this series goes.
