While we are in learning mode, how do you properly reference book titles? Do you use italics or quotations? Also, their is a glitch or two in this keyboard that has not yet been determined.
This is all out of context with the existing thread.Live and learn where ever you are.
 
theres mine, I did it yesterday.
From Buenos Aires...
cheers!

Great tattoo. Am getting a bluebird with "but I don't weep, do you?" Tue. If you like crumb am guessing you like Harvey Pekar too? The two of them and Bukowski talk to me on so many levels. Got any more ink planned?
 
An abject lesson in what happens when you dont have the courage of your convictions and get a tattoo that is too damned small!

Tattos are weird. When you want one , you want one. Personally, I think I was misguided. ( And How did MJP stay free of the ole skin ink? ) But, I sure do wish i knew where Sweet Ass Anne was.

I have a whole arm (full sleeve) full of tattoos. I like em. I have one on my neck and one on my other wrist as well. Nothing Buk-related though. (Not YET.)
 
So, I think I'm going to get this.
I need to mess around a bit more with the type writer font because they didn't have quotes and whatnot but this is just a rough.. yeah. I wish I could find a cleaner signature from him though. And I need to decide a place for it. But yeah.

yeah, they do have quotes in typewriter fonts, but they are not visually appealing. They look almost like exclamation points without the dot.
 
hey guys. i am getting a bukowski quote tattooed on me in a few days and i really want an authentic picture of his signature 'buk' to go with it. ca anyone help me out please!
 
I don't have any tatto's but I think "Bon't Try" would be fitting

No signature though-too obvious
Those that know, know and those that bon't, shouldn't

I've always wanted a tattoo that included footnotes. Sadly my frame does not support the width needed for post-modern ink. I like to attribute this to my student diet and not my habitual masturbation. Apparently, my caloric intake is stifled when gunning.

Man, I haven't visited this thread in a while. Nice to see buk tattoos are still happening! I have thought long and hard for years about a tattoo, and buk always comes back as an idea. kike's tattoo with the lil' drawing and sig often ran through my head. I just can't figure out if I really want one at all or not. But nice to see some good buk related ones on here.
 
I probably won't get it, but I've thought of getting a bluebird on my shoulder. I wouldn't have any words...I just don't like the idea of literary tattoos; the main point of a tattoo is aestheticism, in my opinion.
