Anywho, I'm back! Cue the trumpets! Aaaand I'm getting a tattoo! I'm so excited! I'm so scared! (points if you get the reference, banishment if you don't). It's going to be here:
And it's going to say this:
It translates to "I am the master of my fate", which is a line from the poem Invictus:
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
-William Ernest Henley-
Can. Not. Wait!

Jessie Spano of course! Pretty tattoo concept!
Make sure they put it where you want it and it's the size you want it! Also make sure the artist is an expert in script. They had to size mine up for the details to show but I still love it! This is one instance where being picky and loud will pay off! Don't be scared Tiff! And if all else fails, I'll come draw on you with a permanent marker! haha!
That is such a beautiful font! Good luck getting your tat!
beautiful text, location, and font. Hope you'll share the finished product with us :)
