last post about this until i actually get it tomorrow, i promise, but: I have reached an abrupt place of calm with the tattoo. I went into a sudden anxious frenzy convincing myself that what I really wanted was a different line from the same psalm, doing up an unpointed version in photoshop, getting very distressed that i found those letters so much more aesthetically pleasing...and then i thought about actually getting that, and mentally recoiled because those are not the right words. and then i remembered why i've wanted this specific phrase for five years, and calmed down, and now i am calmly very excited.

(although it is kind of a pity because not only does this other phrase look prettier in hebrew, it sounds so much nicer. my chosen phrase sounds kind of...less than euphonious. but i love it.)

thanks to everyone for advice btw, i am NOT calm about tipping because i always manage to look like an idiot when i have to tip someone in person (not on a credit card receipt, not money left on a table whence i then flee) even when i am aware i should do it and get the amount right. OH WELL. the rest was also very helpful/comforting.
