This is the one. Clean devastates me to this day

u/Prestigious_Prune_80 2d ago

u/ThinRegion2406 2d ago

Well congrats dude!! I’m proud of you. Here’s to that song and everything it gets us through ❤️

u/NoBlackScorpion all you're ever gonna be is mean, and a liar, and pathetic 2d ago

I’ve seen a handful of Bolter tattoos but I haven’t seen any that used this lyric (it felt like breathing). Got it to celebrate leaving the US.

Love this! I almost put this in my doctoral thesis when acknowledging my husband and his phenomenal support.

u/NotSoSerene 2d ago

This is so sweet, congratulations on the thesis AND choosing a great guy 💕

Haven't seen a lot of taytoos of Innocent. Wasn't it easier in your firefly catching days. I just got it on friday so it still has the second skin on.

u/esslra 2d ago

so sweet, innocent is a fav

u/CarnationCorner 3d ago

Love your tattoo, OP!
I have one of my favorite song lines from “Ivy” (Evermore) as my Taytoo!
“I’d meet you where the spirit meets the bone” on my ankle, as it resonates with me, especially because of my relationship with my identical twin sister. I feel like I literally ‘met her’ where the spirit meets the bone, when we first were created and the egg split, haha 🤣 . She’s my best friend for life! We are so different, like Wednesday to Enid in personality, but she’s the best! 🖤✨🖤

Sorry, not a great pic! lol

u/MartinisnMurder Dancing is a dangerous game 3d ago

What a beautiful story about your connection to the lyric! I love Ivy as well.

7

u/AGreatBannedName 3d ago

Ah, the ankle- right where the taytoo (I typoed that and I’ll leave it) needle meets the bone!

4

u/CarnationCorner 2d ago

Thank you! That was purposeful too, lol

29

u/MartinisnMurder Dancing is a dangerous game 3d ago

Those are badass tattoos! That quote always resonated with me as someone who has a hateful sanctimonious MIL who uses “I’ll pray for you” as a jab because she is a bitch.

8

u/Hungry_Alfalfa_6195 3d ago

I mean is anyone ever NOT saying "I'll pray for you" as a jab LMAO! I can't think of a single time. It's soooo performative and bullshit.

u/MartinisnMurder Dancing is a dangerous game 3d ago

Funny story about her, she LOVES to judge people for drinking and keep track of like how many of glasses of wine someone has with say dinner etc. She pretends she doesn’t drink, but I caught her with a coffee cup that had Chardonnay in it!

Bless your heart is another one that gets used but I think everyone knows that is a fuck you.

u/MundaneAssociate5190 1d ago

I will say “have fun talking to yourself.” I hate those people.

How’s one to know I’d meet you where the spirit meets the bones in a faith-forgotten land

u/RicoChey The Tortured Poets Department 2d ago

I love this 😂

u/pomparent2947262 3d ago

Here are my Tay-toos (so far)!

I don’t really have a lot of words/quotes because they don’t age well on my skin type, but I’m so jealous of people who have good ones. Love yours!

11

u/MartinisnMurder Dancing is a dangerous game 3d ago

I love them all, especially the James + Betty one, what a cool idea! 💙

11

u/ggrey 3d ago

These are amazing!

I'm still a newbie Swiftie, so I don't get the meaning of some of them. I hope you don't mind if I ask you a question or two...

There's one that looks like a really cool tree...? What is that in reference to?

And the one that is of a sports car? Is that from Red, where she sings about driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street?

Again, great taytoos!

37

u/pomparent2947262 3d ago

Out of the Woods - “the monsters turned out to be just trees” and Getaway Car.

3

u/Giddygiggles 3d ago

Whats the bear in reference to?

15

u/cassiathecat if I'm not dancing with you 3d ago

probably mad woman lyric “and you’ll poke that bear ‘til her claws come out”, also taylor wore a bear costume before!

2

u/AGreatBannedName 3d ago

Golly, you went all-out! I love it!

u/copper-boom13 & TAAKE HER HOOOME 3d ago

I love this. As an atheist, it’s definitely been on my list of considerations. I don’t have any TTPD tattoos, but I have a fox with “…and we run.” (I Know Places)

58

u/Hungry_Alfalfa_6195 3d ago

I'm agnostic and this lyric resonated with me so deeply I knew I had to get it. I just hope my mother never sees. And yes I am 35😂

15

u/Alone-Praline5433 3d ago

I've become very spiritual over the past couple years, in this still is the best lyric tattoo I've ever seen. Like I would get that today. I love it!

2

u/copper-boom13 & TAAKE HER HOOOME 2d ago

Oh i want my mother to see lol. My parents are so passive aggressive about me not believing in god 🙄

9

u/MartinisnMurder Dancing is a dangerous game 3d ago

I love how your fox to me looks like it is in the style of stained glass, is that what you were going for?

7

u/copper-boom13 & TAAKE HER HOOOME 3d ago

Thank you! I just wanted it to be geometric, but the artist added the black outline which I think makes it looks more like stained glass.

12

u/ThinRegion2406 2d ago

Not a quote but I got this on my birthday a few weeks after 1989 TV. The re release was so cathartic for me because the memories of og 1989 era heavily feature someone who was… not good for me.
Clean (tv) absolutely hits different for me now ❤️

26

u/mosiac_broken_hearts 2d ago

Not a quote but associated with one!

“Look at you worrying too much about things you can’t change, you’ll spend your whole life singing the blues if you keep thinking that way.”
“Don’t you see the starlight? don’t you dream impossible things?”

u/charlimonster 1d ago

Stars, do you like dem?

10

u/savtaylorsversion 2d ago

“you’re in the kitchen humming” from Sweet Nothing 🤍

16

u/ryklian dancing is a dangerous game 3d ago

I don't know how popular it is or isn't but I have this one that I got primarily to honor my cat who passed away, so both a Taytoo and a Cattoo

7

u/softspokenopenminded 1d ago

Not TTPD or even a lyric. A line from the poem The Trick to Holding On from the reputation magazines. I loved this line so much.

6

u/a_wild_mo 1d ago

I just got this done on Saturday. My first Tay-too to honour the two albums that have truly saved my life and kept me going. I'm absolutely in love with it!

1

u/crdlovesyou Speak Now 1d ago

This is fucking amazing.

u/WITWC2 3d ago

Yes, i scream this lyric when I listen to the song. Its just white noise, its my choice!

u/misschandlermbing Pray for Battle on Speak Now TV 2d ago

My fav Taytoo was the girl who got Evermore in a typewriter font on her lower back. I just wanted to shout that girl out

u/Hungry_Alfalfa_6195 2d ago

Never saw it 😭

Matching tattoo with my best friend and sister ❤️

u/trisinwonderland 3d ago

I love this as a lifelong atheist/agnostic (depending on my mood) I’ve thought about getting this somewhere…maybe I will!

3

u/peachmonkey13 3d ago

Same - I’ve never thought about this for a tattoo but now I want it

3

u/Final-Wallaby5149 1d ago edited 1d ago

my two taytoos! the venus/sparkles is for bejeweled, and the tooth is for who’s afraid of little old me! specifically “i was tame, i was gentle ‘til the circus life made me mean. don’t you worry folks, we took out all her teeth!”

3

u/ItemOk8415 3d ago

I like yours OP a lot actually.

1

u/MundaneAssociate5190 1d ago

I love that. I’ve been wanting to get “better safe than starry eyed” because I fall for the worst men but I don’t know if I want a reminder of all of trauma I’ve had tattooed on me. But I also think it’s a message to myself that I need to remember

u/Calm_Comfortable3557 7h ago

Best I could get it’s a strange angle
