That is absolutely gorgeous. I love the size of it.

What font is that, if you don't mind me asking? :)

You're going to laugh-- but I'm not sure!

I went in and said I want type writer... but sloppy type writer.
So we sat down at the computer until I found the right one.

I like the placement

I chose the placement so it could be concealed when I wanted it to. It's something that can be very private-- or something that with the proper shirt can be just barely shown.

Love everything about it - especially the reference photo. It's nice to see the tattoo in context.

I figured someone might enjoy that rather than just "oh, here's a close up".

I love it. Kerouac, the choice of lines, the font, the size, the placement, the execution... everything!

Thank you. <3
The choice of lines was a little difficult to decide.
A person I had spoken to beforehand said I should do two lines.. but everytime I typed it out it didn't look right.

I had originally intended on it being smaller-- but I typed it out with one word per line (obviously other than "is the") and it just seemed like it should be bigger.

Not only are you amazingly adorable, you rib tattoo is AMAZING! Love the font! I especially like how it's kind of wonky but with purpose. Looks great!!

Aw. Thank you. <3
I thought it would be very against the text for it to be perfectly lined up and filled exactly. So I told him to make it look like a natural typewriter which organically is full of individuality.
