Look! A tattoo!

And you may certainly have a cookie if you recognize the reference.

I have lots of cookies, don't worry.






My favorite thing about the placement is that what I can actually see without a mirror, by turning my head, is be well.

T.S. Eliot? :D

Ha, yes! Everyone else is recognizing Julian of Norwich (who Eliot was quoting) but it's really all about Eliot for me. :)

I'm a huge Eliot fan! The tattoo looks fantastic, too. Awesome. :D

I've always thought that if I got a tattoo it would be Tennyson ("Come, my friends,
'Tis not too late to seek a newer world") across my shoulderblades.

Oh, that sounds beautiful! This one started out as my "if I were forced to get a tattoo, it would be..." and I promptly realized that I actually wanted it. It just took me a couple of years to get my act together, but after wanting it for two years I was really sure. :)

I change my mind too often about things; I'm worried that if I ever got a tattoo I wouldn't like it after a few years. If I still like the idea of it in another few years, maybe I'll do it.

Oh, it's Eliot! I thought something was strange. I know the Julian of Norwich quote as 'All will be well and all will be well and all manner of thing shall be well' which has a different meaning for me entirely :-) [/mystic]

Yep, Eliot's translation and line breaks. :)
