Hi. This is my tattoo. This is also my shin.

How beautiful is this!
Still one of the greatest books of all time.
And I love your ideas for your tattoos.

From Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird.

"Atticus told me to delete the adjectives and I'd have the facts."

it is still very fresh and swollen.
I think a couple of the letters are uneven and need touched up,
but I'll wait until it is not swollen to know for sure.

Font is a modified Goudy Old Style, same as my "so it goes." tattoo, and I'm guessing probably at about size 30.

This is on my right shin, right below the kneecap.

I'm so proud to be named after such a brilliant writer as Harper Lee.

One of my favorite quotes also.

Beautiful.
