Tattoo transfer
Before tattooing, the tattooist goes over the outline of the design on a purple ink pad thingy, and then transfers that ink onto my freshly-shaved leg which has been moistened with whatever the heck it is in the spray bottle. I proofread the tattoo while he's prepping the gun and ink, and notice that the "i" of "animal" is missing its body, and that there is also a missing "o". In this photo, the "o" has already been hand drawn in pen, but the "i" is still just a dot.
The font is penshurst, which I chose because of the spirally curliques on the h, n, m, v, and y. The original art was done by the_ogre (yay for boyfriends who are artists and tattoo geeks and able to put my ideas into pixels)
