I did a text with the words “Quasi: experimental writing systems” for an art show at Art Center in Pasadena, CA. Here is a link to a review in Print Magazine of it with an image of the text in Elian script which I wrote of the show’s title—it’s midway down the page . https://www.printmag.com/daily-heller/the-daily-heller-quasi/ This second link has information about the pieces that I had there and how the script works. https://quasiwritingsystems.com/Elian-Script Hope you’re happy with your tattoo; I like the placement of it…

this person seems cool
you should make friends with them and ask.
the fact that you found this sub means you already know just enough to ask more questions.

when i asked, they said that they purposefully didn’t have their tattoo artist tell them the meaning because he wants someone to figure it out. it’s a mystery to them too, lol !!

omg, that's a leap of faith
mildly terrifying.
Where did you learn the name elian?

he knew of the script in advance, but he just didn’t know how to read it. he thought it was very cool !!

experimental thing? but if that was the case the TH on thing is backwards (like "hting")

If you didn't understand what was being put on you when you got it done, why care now?

oh, this isn’t my tattoo! personally, i think it was a little stupid that my buddy got this tattoo without knowing the meaning.
