Red Sky at Night, Sailor's Delight. Red Sky in the Morning, Sailor's Take Warning.

So, I may nor may not have been offered a free (or at least drastically reduced) tattoo by a very well-known tattoo artist. And I'm at a loss. I've entertained the idea of getting tattoos before, and there are a number that I really like. But I can't decide. My friend, Tattoo, who I think I will call Bombshell from now on, told me the person who offered to do it is more than serious. I met him at a party a few months back with Bombshell and some of her friends. She knows him quite well, and has worked for him before. Apparently he's quite expensive. I've always played around with the idea of getting a quote or two on me, since I love words. I'm quite partial to an Albert Camus quote that goes, "In the midsts of winter, I found within me that there was an invincible summer." I also am very partial to a quote by Hafiz of Persia, though, admittedly, it's a bit modified from the original (this is the format I found the original in, in a book on Tibetan symbols, and the quote stuck with me ever since). It goes, "After a million years of shining, the sun does not say to the earth, 'You owe me.' Imagine a love like this." I think it is absolutely beautiful. 

But I also think of my body as a work of art. And I am not opposed to putting a design or two on there, as well. I like a lot of classic flash, particularly some of Sailor Jerry's cowgirls. The one on the bucking bronco is one of my favorites. 


So: if you were offered a tattoo by a famous tattoo artist, what would you get?
