This is Sarah’s tattoo:
I fell in love with Ulysses
by James Joyce when I was in college studying literature, identifying with the bumbling, conflicted Leopold Bloom.
When my life was recently turned upside down by heartache, I was reminded of this line from the “Hades” chapter, spoken by Bloom: “Plenty to see and hear and feel yet.”
I modified the line to bring out the main points, and had it done in white ink on the inside of my wrist. Most artists don’t like to do white ink tattoos, but I wanted this tattoo to be for me and not immediately visible to anyone else. It’s my daily reminder that no matter what unexpected turns that life can take, there’s always something new around the corner.

This is awesome. I, too, fell in love with Ulysses in college. Great tattoo concept, really interesting execution.

love the white ink. love it.
This is beautiful and I love the intimacy of it with the white ink!
what font is it? It is beautiful. I love love love white ink, even if tattoo artist don’t.
Thanks for all the love, everyone. And thanks, Jen, for posting my tattoo.
Marz – my tattoo artist wrote this out herself, so it’s not a font.
My skin color is that of a chinese, I’m wondering if I get a tattoo with a white ink, will it still be visible? thanks!
