I am extremely pleased by my first ever #tattoo, inked by Rostige Nadel Berlin.

Many thanks to all who helped me bounce around different design ideas, and special shoutout to @TQ who came up with much of the final concept! <3

As you can see, the final version ended up being a watercolor-style tattoo.

Next Sunday I'm going to get my first tattoo. Ever since I saw a really cool stylized transgender symbol tattoo a few years back (upper left in image) I've wanted something similar.

But just copying it sounds... cheap? Impersonal? So instead I've tried finding other ideas, like in the upper right image. I like clear, broad strokes.

I've done some scribbles below but... I don't like them all *that* much? :/

Do you have suggestions? Scribbles/ideas of your own?

My problem is that a) the process is heeeellla slow (see image, 50-100kb/s only) and b) there will always pop up some files that are apparently not readable, which then requires user interaction. I did find a useful script/tool at http://www.perfectautomation.com/solutions/copy-cd-dvd-hard-drive.html that apparently would help with the frequent disk swapping, but a) and b) seem very problematic. Is this potentially because I have a bad optical disk drive in my computer (a Bluray drive in my case)? What can I do?
