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.

Haha that is the most un-HoL HoL tattoo I've seen. It's not bad though!

There are some baaaaaad ones. I'm a huge MZD fan(bet you couldn't tell) and even I cringe at most of them.

Was it HoL that also has footnotes that sometimes span multiple pages, which did make it a pain to read?

While HoL does have a few of these, you're probably thinking of Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace, as stated above. Also an amazing book, and if I had read it before HoL I'm sure it'd be my favourite fictional book.

I love all of Danielewski's stuff, but when it comes to evoking emotions, DFW is unparalleled. Danielewski comes off as super pretentious which I totally understand, but he's been doing amazing things with typography since he started writing and I really think he's going places with it.

Calling what he's doing a gimmick is, in my opinion, seriously marginalizing what he's doing with typography in a lot of his works. Correct me if I'm wrong(which would also be cool cause it gives me more books to add to my list...) but there hasn't been any similar style prior to MZD's that has really gotten as much attention.

If you liked HoL, try The 50 Year Sword. I don't even know if it qualifies as a novella it's so short, but it's kind of a good followup to HoL, or even a good introduction to his style of writing.

If you GIS it there are more but I really don't feel like it.

Edit: Apparently it's not illegal, just 'incredibly frowned upon'. What the gently caress is wrong with people?

You are right, my post was reactionary and it is slightly hypocritical. Still, though, that's just hosed.

VoidBurger posted:

If I'm not mistaken, a lot of pets are tattooed with an ID number when they're spade/neutered. I dunno if they still do that these days, but they're cheaper than micro-chipping them, I bet. My cats had those tats somewhere under their fur.

Never heard of this, only the microchipping. That's different than "I want my cat to have the same skull and crossbones I do fufufu" though.

I just rode my bike there and back, and managed to somehow miss all the rain that hit the northwest side, plus it suddenly became drastically cooler on the Kennedy. We discussed what I wanted, and I'll be back down there in a week.

Or I guess I could just ask my cousin to give me a Tinkerbell in his kitchen.

Nice, I dig his stuff. Different colour palate than Mario/Nick, and that's tight. Some of his roses are sweet.

I didn't even know it rained, hah, although I'm in the Medical District right now :shrug:

The second one needed a file like .jpg at the end but other than that you were fine. You can also make images smaller by using timg instead of img.

This one bothers me the most. The piercings are going to be directly under the waistband of her jeans. Ow ow ow ow. If they aren't catching on the moving, pushing,

This Tom of Finland number also came up.


These kind of piercings make no sense to me, tattoo-paired or not. Why the gently caress do you want random, bedazzled looking chunks of metal just popping out of your flesh? :psyduck:
