The consistency issues in my current novel bugged me, so I switched to some research. I want to get a tattoo of the X-Men symbol, hopefully in Rogue's colours, but I get horribly anxious when I enter new spheres and I want to minimize the chance I'll embarrass myself when I go to a shop to check out portfolios and/or arrange things. Hence this book.

On a less freaked out note, I'm now at 17:41 for #24in48!

Johanna414 My husband and I have been talking about getting tattoos too - something with our kids‘ birthdates I think. He has one that he got like 20 years ago, but I don‘t have any. 6y
Whimsical.Curiosity Congrats!! 🎉🎉 6y
Swe_Eva Careful, they're addictive. 😁 Most artist are very comfortable talking about their craft, so feel free to ask any question you like. Everyone with tattoos got their first one once. 👍🏻 6y

xicanti @Johanna414 good luck! I love the idea of a shared tattoo experience. 6y
xicanti @Whimsical.Curiosity thanks! 6y
xicanti @Swe_Eva I've already got two other designs in mind, so I hope I can find someone whose work I like. The two studios closest to me have great reviews, which is reassuring. 6y
Johanna414 @xicanti thanks! We‘ll probably get totally different tattoos with just that common theme, because our styles are polar opposites. I can‘t wait to see yours! 6y
xicanti @Johanna414 I'll post pictures as soon as it happens! 6y
