This is amazing. Be amazed.

There are people in the world with tattoos inspired by my words. This will never fail to amaze me.

But this is the first time someone has tattooed me and Vixy on their body.

Look at this beautiful ink. What an amazing honor.

I am amazed.

Before I had actually looked at the post / the pictures and just read your tag text, my first reaction was "uh, oh ... creeeepy". But the way this was done is utterly and completely beautiful and amazing. Just wow. You guys can be proud to have inspired that :)

Hee hee hee.

I agree with above - I interpreted this to be portraits of you and Vixy, and was thinking that was a tad creepish. But now I understand. Those are beautiful words with important meanings that obviously resonate with the person.

I am impressed, and slightly envious, that someone can be so confident in belief and hope as to embrace permanent personal art that way. Wow. I hope those tattoos are (and continue to be) the anchor and the light that they are intended to be.

Yes, I am amazed. And a little sniffly about the linked post.

I love the tattoo, what an honour for you.

Happy Birthday Seanan - have a wonderful celebration.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

What a wonderful honor.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I am so touched.

Those are lovely! Makes me wish I had some free skin for a little more ink. ;-)

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I appreciate the thought. :)

I actually also have quotes from both of you :)

[laurenthemself]

That's the Dark Tower, I'll set my watch and warrant on it. The second one's a Werewolf: the Apocalypse symbol, but I don't know which off the top of my head.

All in all they are lovely lovely pieces of ink! Beautiful juxtapositions of images and words.

[ginger]

Correct on both counts, aye -- the second is the glyph of the Corax, the wise corvid shifters who see all and collect stories and secrets :)

Thank you!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh eeeeeee.

[melchar.livejournal.com]

Those are amzing! I like the elegance of the words as they appear on flesh. ...and the one with roses [above] is also gorgeous! Love the sentiment!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I am so touched.

[laurenthemself]

I am now figuring out what to get from you, Vixy, and Talis, and whether to put such things on my left arm, which so far is mostly literary references but lends itself to musical references, or to start on my right arm.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

There's so much to choose from!

[ironed_orchid]

Oh, that's lovely.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I know, right? Pure bliss.

[peachtales.livejournal.com]

That's amazing.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

So touched.

[setauuta.livejournal.com]

I'm just so excited that you and Vixy like them so much! I was worried that you guys would think that it was really weird, or somesuch. I'm hoping to make it to Emerald City Comicon, so maybe I can show you the tattoo in person. :)

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

They are amazing.
