New Blog: Pen & Ink

I don’t have any tat­toos myself — mostly because I can’t decide what to get — but I’ve wanted one for as long as I can remem­ber. Maybe that will change soon though, cour­tesy Pen & Ink, a new blog about tat­toos and the sto­ries behind them. Founded by Isaac Fitzgerald and Wendy McNaughton, each post fea­tures an illus­tra­tion of a sub­mit­ted tat­too accom­pa­nied by its hand-lettered story. It’s opened up a whole new world of inspi­ra­tion — be sure to click on over there to get a closer look.

    Thanks for shar­ing Courtney! I am the same way about tattoos…I love them, I want one, I know what I want and where I’d get it…but I don’t know if I’ll ever go through with it. You know how it is, being a designer, I’m afraid it won’t be per­fect and then I’ll be stuck with it! But I love the sto­ries behind tat­toos, so this is a great blog!

    I’ve never wanted a tat­too myself but I am lov­ing the illus­tra­tion and typog­ra­phy illus­trat­ing each per­sonal story. The lady with the T-Rex made me smile.

    I always won­der why peo­ple get cer­tain tat­toos and if there is back story. This a great glimpse into other people’s tat­too deci­sions. I know most peo­ple think my blue star tat­too is a stu­pid young deci­sion, but it means some­thing to me.
