We trade liquor for blood in an attempt to tip the scales.

There's this tattoo that I would like to get. I'd like to get a few, actually, but I think this shall be my next one. I want a large balance scale in a burnt orange, dark brown, and black. I want the scale in the center of my back, about in between my shoulder blades. Underneath the scale, I want the words "An Attempt to Tip The Scales" in cursive and I want those words to curve around the bottom of the scale. This tattoo has been on my mind for a long time now, and I think I'm finally ready to get it. An Attempt to Tip the Scales is a Bright Eyes lyric, and it has its own meaning to me. I don't like to share the meaning of my tattoos to many people, so let's leave it at that. Meaningful, thought out tattoos are beautiful.
