As a tremendous fan of Dickens, and of the novel supplying the quote, I can’t help admiring this tatt. The opening to <i>A Tale of Two Cities</i> divided between two arms … an inspired choice. Wonder what Dickens would have thought. As an author myself, I find the thought of someone tattooing my words on his/her body … surreal, to say the least. Flattering, no doubt. But I’m not sure I would like to encounter such a person in the flesh. This one is especially meaningful to me because I referenced this particular novel in my own novel. I love this Dickens novel, but man, the owner of this tattoo has gotta love it more! Bravo! Keep the literary fires burning! Damn, I hate clicking submit too hastily, before doing a quick proofread!
