People who like House of Leaves should check out Alasdair Gray, particularly Unlikely Stories, Mostly. Gray has the advantage of being an artist as well as a writer and typography nut.

Both of those stitching Ariel pictures make me deeply uncomfortable for some reason.

They're more in keeping with the original story, which is pretty unsettling (after she gets her legs, every step she walks is agonizingly painful, and then the prince dude marries some other woman).

I heard that too. Apparently her husband (or boyfriend?), who was also an artist, had done some nudes of her before she got famous for her paintings. Then, people just sort of associated her with sexuality forever.

Husband, photographer Alfred Stieglitz.

And if you look at paintings by her early teacher, Arthur Wesley Dow, you see the same kind of approach to abstraction of natural forms with emphasis on color values, though O'Keeffe had outstripped his painting technique before she was very far into her career.

Probably had a few laser sessions then the cover-up? :shrug:

The roses and derpy skulls are much larger than the gangrenous buckshot wound tattoo though, it's most definitely the cover-up.

Yes, I bet she had it lasered down to a pale blur then got the coverup. According to people I know who have had it done, getting a tattoo from 100% to 25% takes about as long as getting it from 25% to non-visible, so that route is way cheaper. Maybe someone here who has had laser can confirm or deny, though.

So, "fides" means "faith".

If you had wanted it to say, "My faith is in the Lord," "meus" is wrong because "fides" is feminine. And "Dominus" is nominative.

If you had wanted it to say "The Lord is my strength," you picked the entirely wrong word with "fides".

Apparently it means "make a wish."

This is a long-standing woo woo new age bit of nonsense. When you see 11:11 come up on the clock, that's the universe reminding you of synchronicity, so you should seize the moment to cast your intention into the universe. Which I guess has been diluted to "make a wish," which seems exactly as effective.
