  • He’s been gone for over 20 years. I’ve considered a few select quotes from him as well. I’ve also got a Robert Jordan, a Kurt Vonnegut, and a well hidden Terry Pratchett and they were more recent.

    My sleeve is so busy that you’d never know about the Pratchett unless you were looking for it and the Jordan could probably be taken a few different ways. If it comes out that they were crazy pieces of shit I can always cover them.

    As a side note, OSC is actually the reason I will never have a living author quote or image on my body. Once someone is dead I’ll do a search to see if there was something I didn’t know before I ink myself.








  • Do you regret your specific tattoos or do you regret that you have tattoos? Answering yourself honestly will really help deciding what to do about them.

    One of the more beautiful things I was told about them is that tattoos are a permanent reminder of who you were temporarily. They don’t represent who you are, they remind you of who you were.


  • No worries! It’s less than half an hour to downtown Houston from here at this time of night and probably right at half an hour from Katy proper.

    I grew up in a true rural community of less than 1000. It was half an hour to the outskirts of the nearest city, and that place had 75,000 people. It was hours away from the outskirts of the closest REAL city, Dallas, with 1.3 million people. In contrast, Katy has 25,000 people and sits half an hour from the center of a city with 2.3 million people, nevermind the size of the metro area.

    So if she lived on the west side of Katy, she was describing the place as she saw it and that’s not on you. A small place as compared to Houston, and more on the rural side of the suburbs. I take my motorcycle out that way because if you leave headed west it’s pretty empty for a while.





  • Katy ain’t tiny. Well, in and of itself it is but it’s part of the Houston metro. I live off the Energy Corridor. I can be in Katy in a few minutes. I can also be at a dozen grocery stores, an insane number of taco trucks, any type of bar you’d care to visit, escape rooms, several gyms (I’ve recently started rock climbing in one again!), and shit loads of white collar industry for a good paying job within a few minutes. My first IT job making more than $125k was 10 minutes out of Katy. It’s suburban, not rural.


  • Oh no, you misunderstand. I want to see that rate HIGHER than the general tattoo regret. I don’t think it’s lower. I fully believe it’s higher. And it’s definitely much higher than the amount of trans regrets.

    But for me to share it, I’d like to see that the number of people who regret their HP tattoo is also enough higher than the baseline tattoo regret to beat out the amount of trans regrets. That sentence got away from me but I hope you understand what I mean.

    My reasoning is that people would just dismiss it by saying “A quarter of people regret their tattoos anyway”. Because I want to be able to confidentially fire back “True! However, the Harry Potter tattoo regret is greater than the baseline tattoo regret by 10%. Also, go fuck yourself!”

    All because I’m petty enough to send it to known TERF groups.
