I’ve been seeing a lot of Dune tattoos lately… I’m not sure what happened to bring about the resurgence, but I’m not complaining. My own simplified version of this reads Stay Calm. The main one pictured here is by Shawn at Mos Eisley Tattoo on Tatooine in Grand Rapids, MI. The branding (which basically says the same thing in Braille) is on an old friend scarred by Blair who is just finishing up a NYC tour.
| I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. |

Is it a sign of mental derangement that in my own personal universe Arrakis really exists somewhere out there?

I can’t see how the branding says anything like that.

Having successfully completed “Braille for the Sighted” I was pretty confused by that brand. And then I realized: it’s just a bad job. A fundamental element of Braille is that the cells are the same size and aligned properly. So yeah, it’s Braille-like, though not really Braille.

i’ve met a fella with that whole quote tattooed on his forearm. small samll world.
I fucking love that book.
I think braille looks lovely too.
I want something similar but in tattoo form probably.
…I don’t think I’d be able to find anyone in my area good enough that I’d trust them to take away my skin or brand me or whatever… Shame really.
