Oh, I love that.

[wanttobeatree]

ikr! It is probably horribly clichéd to get Eliot tattoos, but I DON'T CARE THAT QUOTE IS PART OF MY SOUL.

[graymary]

Dude, bah, tattoos are you. If you're going to get something permanent, get something that you don't mind having forever.

I'm still debating on what I want my ink to be. I'd have to make sure it wasn't easily seen -- this is what happens when I want to go to East Asia for my career. X(

I miss poetry. Do you have any good recommendations? I love Eliot, and partial to Dickinson (lol I know rite :() and anyone who is like concrete/free form. YOU ARE ENGLISH, HELP ME HERE.

[wanttobeatree]

Exactly :D Ten years from now I am probably going to be covered in bits of poetry/song lyrics. Although I'm also planning to get a dragonfly, once I have designed it to my satisfaction, which will most likely be my only actual picture on me.

Oh nooo, East Asia =/= fond of tattoos? That makes sense, now I think about it. Good thing I don't want to go to East Asia for my career, then :x

UMM. Ahaha I like that you think English = I Know Poetry. WELL OF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, I have some good ones in my memories (especially Margaret Atwood, Tony Hoagland and Richard Siken. They are A++) Umm. Have you ever read any Sappho? I don't own any, but I randomly picked a book up in the library and read it once and there was some pretty badass stuff. (Death must be an evil - and the gods agree; for why else would they live for ever?) I love Allen Ginsberg and William Blake, too.

OH and Simon Armitage is great. And Carol Ann Duffy! They are really well known contemporary British poets.

So many people I know are suddenly getting tattoos o_O bane of being 18 I guess.

That's a really awesome quote to have as one, though :D

[wanttobeatree]

Dude, I have been planning on getting tattoos for YEARS. Far from sudden :P

You are right re the awesomeness, though.

[lapifors]

No no I mean there's a sudden plethora of people I know getting tattoos :P not that your choice itself was sudden.

oh god, i've written that AU Jared in your icon so many times it's not funny.

we should all post about our indulgent AU SPN/SPNRPS crap one day under lock and embarrass ourselves silly.

I love that quote <3
And that's gonna be one awesome tattoo

[alwaysenduphere]

I have such a love/hate relationship with Eliot. And this, I love. Good luck with the tattoo. :)

That's absolutely beautiful. My best friend named one of her sons Eliot after the poet.
