I love this so much, Hopkins is one of my favorites. I like the placement and the simple font, too.

Thanks! I'm quite enamored with it myself.

I love both of your tattoos so much.

Thank you!

I like the link you have between the two of them. The song definitely has meaning, one that changes all the time, for me, anyway - I love how I'm always discovering something new in it, but the root of it remains the same.

Trying not to sound like a teenie fangirl while I'm at it, but. *blushes*

But I like the poem's one too. Can I ask what font you used, if it's okay? It looks really similar to something I have in my head that I've been trying to find for months, that I want for a tatt.

No worries. I fangirl over MCR all the time. ;)

The font is traveling typewriter, but my artist talked to me about maybe not doing all of the font as bold as the website shows, because it would look splotchy.

Thanks, I think that's it, though I won't be sure till I can download it and italicise it. How did your artist un-bold it? Were there any letters in particular they said to slim down?

No, it was more like he tried to make it uniform? Sorry I'm not more help.

These are both lovely. The lettering is beautifully done.

PS Oh man, someone who will actually appreciate my GeeWay icon. Excellent.

Thanks! I made a real effort to get the same artist because of how good a job he did the first time.

I do! Isn't he lovely? :D

I also went back to the same artist for my second tattoo. I am a huge believer in tattoo artist loyalty.

Your icon makes my heart all mushy, even though I know it's from Gerard's really bad drug phase. He and Ray are so cuuuuute.
