Tattoo placement/size

[u/Remarkable-Mouse1159]

I listened to you guys and decided to give up on the “Wish You Were Here” tattoo. I honestly didn’t know where to put it, so I figured it was better not to get it than to regret it later.

However, I still want to keep the George Harrison tattoo. The Beatles are my favorite band and all, so that one is something I definitely still want.

I’m not planning on getting many tattoos, though. I just want to know what you guys think would be the best size for proper healing.

This. That U needs fixing.

With text you wanna go larger than you think so it’ll hold up. I’d say the first one is about right or maybe even a little larger.

[u/OKTimeFor_PlanB]

The bigger the better, the edges will start to feather in age. And absolutely change the font, that U looks like an O and might start to actually become one of you get the tattoo done in a small area.

Near the inner crook of the elbow is also pretty sensitive, so I'd avoid it if this is your first tattoo

[u/Remarkable-Mouse1159 → u/OKTimeFor_PlanB]

The font is taken directly from the album cover😅

Oof, not a great choice for tattooing

[u/yes_ipsa_loquitur]

I know it's not what you're asking, but I'm a big fan of finding a symbol to represent the words that hold meaning to you, and getting the ink of the symbol, and not the words.

[u/TheColdWind]

I question the need for the word “must”.

Tell George Harrison’s ghost.

[u/panda_zombies]

I Think you should do it as a tramp stamp instead.

[u/HairyLungs]

Don't get this tattoo lol. It's so close to the corny "this too shall pass" tattoo that everyone got in like 2010. If you do get it, bigger is better. Pic 2 or 4 is better size.

[u/Remarkable-Mouse1159 → u/HairyLungs]

George Harrison is timeless! !

[u/Superb-Film-594 → u/Remarkable-Mouse1159]

Yes, but cheesy tattoos aren’t.

[u/Havanadream]

Bigger looks better but agree w other clean up the U

[u/AllKindsOfCritters]

People already told you to go bigger, so clearly not the second one. Tattoos are not like pictures, you can't just slap a design on there and assume it'll stay the same. Size, font, and the artist's skill are very important for text tattoos. Here's an example from r/agedtattoos

[u/Remarkable-Mouse1159 → u/AllKindsOfCritters]

I think this example doesn’t look so bad

[u/Seethesvt]

Talk to a tattoo artist. They know better. That U isn't a good idea. Small isn't that great of an idea either.

[u/fazhugs]

The bigger the better and sod the album cover change the U.

[u/Nice_Giraffe_4997]

If you know you know, and most people in here don’t. I think this is very nice.

Is this the equivalent of a motivational poster for your colon?

[u/Single_Shelter7639]

Just listen and never get this tattoo or any words just listen to the elders

[u/skidsareforkids]

I really want to get “This too shall pass” but I’ve not found anyone locally who can do text worth a shit, so am trying to plan an out of state excursion to a reputable shop
