help?

Though I am only seventeen, I am interested in refining my ideas now, so that when I leave for college next summer, I have a well-honed idea I am happy with (to, hopefully, minimize an impulse decision). I am looking for your opinions, suggestions, criticisms...

instead of doing the wording in a chunk like that, i would do it in a straight line that wraps around your thigh...if the makes sense?

Maybe I'm just immature, but something about placing the quote on your thigh makes me laugh a little inside. Or maybe I just don't like thigh tattoos very much and think it would look better on your ribs which are equally hideable. Anyway, love your ideas, those drawings are nice.

I have a tattoo on my upper thigh - essentially exactly where she's looking to put hers - and it's been an excellent place for it. I'm also studying for a serious-ish job that can't have visible tattoos, and I've never been discouraged with the placement of mine.

Also, typically, tattoos are rather personal and I like that no one except the person I'm sleeping with can see mine :)

Plus, rib tattoos hurt like a bitch and are more apt to stretching.

I have a rib tattoo. I can attest to it hurting like a bitch.

lol don't worry he's just creepy in a general sense!

like for example he uses the word lover like people use the word "boyfriend" and "friend" and throws it around a lot. and is old. and also likes to discuss the balance of sexual power in situations in poems and stuff and start talking about how in victorian england men were supposed to sow their wild oats and so they had sex with prostitutes and stuff.

haha.

but him saying that was one of his favorite lines now i'm just like. ugh. can't read it nicely anymore.

Haha, I had a teacher give some huge speech about a certain poem being about communism and the proletariat "all working together" and blah blah blah. Which ruined the poem for me. And it turns out he was completely full of shit.

Gotta love overzealous english teachers
