This is Stacey’s tattoo:

I originally came across the poem in one of my most beloved books, Traveling Mercies by Anne Lamott, so I have extra affection for it.

Dream Dust
Gather out of star-dust,
Earth-dust,
Cloud-dust,
Storm-dust,
And splinters of hail,
One handful of dream-dust,
Not for sale.

- By Langston Hughes

serious tattoo envy right now. from the font to the placement, it’s just spectacular.

I absolutely love this. I don’t personally know the poem or poet you’ve taken this from but the font and placement are so beautiful.

Might I ask what font it is?

Shay, I’m sorry. All I can remember is that the font name starts with M. But thank you for the lovely words :).
