Scratching together some tattoo ideas (binary) -
March 7th 2009, 07:52 PM
So, I want to get a few tattoos, but I have no idea where to put them, seeing as they are long strings, but I've split them into four lines each to help with size. Any ideas where to get them done? I also don't know which font I should get. Any ideas which font(s) would be best for just 1's and 0's.
Peas and Tanks.
The design:
Next to each set of numbers, or at least close to them. I want the phrases or something like them:
First: Home is where the Heart is.
Second: You always remember your first Love.
And,
Third: Family First.
Home Is Where The Heart Is (or something to that effect)

00110011 00110110 00111000 00110100

(oh and, major major kudos to the person that figures out what all the numbers mean)

For the font Id suggest courier new... as that is the 'traditional' font that is used for code.
I dont know how much you would like that on you though but it would mean that each character should take up the exact same amount of space so each line would be the same and would make a perfect block.
For which phrase to have... have the one that means the most to you personally.

Thanks, I think I will use that font, it actually seems to line the numbers up perfectly so its nice and ordered.
Phrases wise, I want them to mean something, but I'd rather them not be corny or cheesy, this is permanent after all.

Yep it does line up the numbers perfectly which is why its the one always used for code (well its the preset in most languages and you can change it if you want which is why I described it as the 'traditional' font cant think of a beter word for it)
Also there are some others that do line up to...
I know what you mean, it is permanent... which is why I said make it important to you. I think they are all nice phrases just try and work out which one you relate to most.
