    Gotta love Ariel for this. A tattoo is always a tricky thing, I've seen good ideas gone bad, and bad ideas gone even worse.

    But this is perfect and simple and fresh. She's got a few more, another one references The Orchid Thief, and the last references...um...shit, something cool? My hat off to her for that, tattoos with meaning, but not so much meaning you gag.

      Kurt Vonnegut is one of my favorites! I've been planning on getting a Vonnegut tattoo for years and finally plan to in 2009. I've got a Tom Robbins tattoo already. I love good writers! Yay!

      Definitely a favorite quote from a great man. Wonderfully executed in tattoo form as well as photographed too. Centers right in on what's important.
