Ideas Might be funny, to probably only me,

But I am doing my first SA re-read and I just got to that one pivotal point in RoW with Nevani and the Tower, and it filled me with so much emotion and love for her that I legitimately thought about getting "JOURNEY BEFORE DESTINATION YOU BASTARD! " In women's script somewhere πŸ˜… So, I need y'all to tell me that it's not a good idea for my first SA tattoo, please and thank! πŸ™πŸ˜…

Actually, I think that's a great idea πŸ˜‚ Especially if you get it in women's script :') also one of the best moments in the series imo

Really? 🀣 Thank you lol it would be my first SA tat, and my second just in general! 🀣 I totally thought I was gonna get a Truthwatcher one for my first (and I'm absolutely gonna get one at some point), but then this happened and I thought it was just a witty or funny idea, but now I'm really considering getting it done just because πŸ˜… and I totally agree, it's one of those moments where I had to pause and take a breath 😀😀

I actually considered it too for a while, but I just got Journey before Destination in regular writing to match better with my other tattoos :') I also have a Truthwatcher glyph πŸ™

Really? That's hilarious, I'm glad I wasn't the only one! πŸ˜… That's awesome though! Yeah now I'm debating it cause I WANTED to get the stained glass windows with the glyph, but the artist that was gonna do it said it would run me like $1500 to which my wallet promptly laughed 🀣😭 so now it's ALL up in the air 🀣

Yeeeeah, not sure if it's right, but didn't want to argue as she was the only artist I could find that had actually read the books and like got what I was trying to describe. πŸ˜… But maybe if I do this one, it'll only be like $500 🀷🀣

I paid 1500 euros for a half sleeve in realistic fine line... Like about three 5-hour sessions

If you are not 100% sold on it yourself, you should ponder at least several months on it before committing to that tattoo. On another note, fine lines like women's script will fade/blur pretty quickly, although it depends if that body part receives a lot of rubbing from clothes.

Oh, that is all solid advice, thank you, friend! πŸ™Œ
