Hey folks. So I have a tattoo that I'd like to get, a line from a poem that means a lot to me. It's Dorianne Laux's "Antilamentation" and the line is "You've traveled this far on the back of every mistake" but I'm kinda stumped on exactly HOW to get it done.

I've had a couple of folks try to design me a tattoo in the past that incorporates more than just the text, but it always ends up looking kinda clunky. I know I could do just the text on its own, there's always the classic/cliche "typewriter" font that you so often see but is that my best choice? Do any of you folks have advice on how you'd handle someone asking for text to be inked on them?

(Also, not looking to somehow get an actual design for free! Just need advice before approaching any of my local tattoo places, though if there is someone who has an amazing idea for how to do it, we can totally talk about you getting paid for it.)

So I am still here and still working! My current commission is now over 10K words and still going so it's taking quite a while as you can imagine but it will be finished. It will.

Got two other folks in the queue after that. I am open to commission ideas if you'd like to grab a space on the queue as well. Drop me a line!

Just want to give some love over to Tovarish_0! who is actively looking for folks to commission them at the moment! You should absolutely go and check them out.

They're currently doing head/maw shots for not a lot of cash. You can check it out here - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/61318261/

I am looking to take more names now, so if you're interested in signing up feel free to drop a comment or a note and I can get in touch when I'm ready to start work on your slot.

Sometimes it would be nice to be able to be more open about the stuff I write, to talk it over with folks, to swap ideas and talk about how excited I am to be working on a new story, but I can't exactly chat about it on Facebook, or stream it on Twitch. I operate in a niche within a niche of internet culture and most folks would likely be horrified by the stuff I work on.

I've been called sick and perverted and all manner of names under the sun before now. Even had a death threat or two, but that was a while ago. The internet is both a more restrictive and more permissive place now, but I know my stories still go far too far for most people.

Anyway. Just wanted to sound off. Back to my next commission about another guy having a very, very bad day. Not a human this time, though!

I know. Shocking.

TTFN.

~Looks at pile of stories featuring humans getting eaten, raped and generally fucked up by gryphons~

Oh well.

All closed. Thanks to the folks who reached out, and thanks to my two returning customers. Love writing for you guys.

So we've got some classic gryphon trampling/smothering, some snake coiling and loving dragon abuse, and a rather fasincating story involving a very angry woman, the rival who's at her mercy, and a cloning machine. Stay tuned!
