And so it was; and so it goes; and so it will be

22 comments - Post a comment

From here:

Kerryn loves Kurt Vonnegut and decided to get “And so it goes” ( a recurring line from Slaughterhouse Five) tattooed on her shoulder.

Finally on the other side of three decades worth of bad shit, Gil decided to get “And so it was” tattooed on her back representing the past that she has moved on from but that made her who she is.

And Meg, the eternal optimist decided to get “And so it will be” on her right arm as a symbol of the beautiful unknown.

These are the perfect tattoos.

Beautiful! (In so many ways)

this is one of the most clever and beautiful thing i have ever seen printed on a person. and that it grew to three persons, who share these feelings and friendship is amazing.

great job!

The only problem is… the quote is actually, “So it goes.”

What a great way to bond the three of you!

lulz scenesters.

good job getting the quote wrong, since you’re supposed to, you know, be a fan of vonnegut and all.

gtfo and go back to myspace.

I’m pretty sure people are free to have whatever they like tattooed on themselves. So what if she chose to add an “and”? It’s obviously not the direct quote, but I think literary-inspired tattoos (key word: inspired!) are just fine.

I am going to agree with sd on this one, I’m afraid.

It might have said more if it had been quoted correctly…

Ah, but to each his own, I suppose.

Pete - 02 Mar 09 at 20:39:45

so is this the best of the literary gems they gleaned from the book?

seems kind of dumb to me…

sam - 16 Mar 09 at 00:10:36

it rolls better with “and”, imo.

I have “and so it goes…-B.P.” tattoo’d on my shoulder as well, got it in may 2008.
Good to see I’m not the only one to appreciate this

Beautiful.

aaaaaaa - 31 Mar 09 at 05:53:53

Geeky I’ll say

thats really cute…. bonding and bleeding together …. love it…. tats are such a great way to show love and i love to see people with music theme tats… WTG :)

“And So it Goes” is the name of a Billy Joel album. “So it goes” is Vonnegut. I like the idea though.

stephanie - 24 Jun 09 at 22:46:16

If you have read Slaughterhouse Five you would know that though “So it goes” is the more popularly referenced quote, “and so it goes” also appears numerous times. … So it goes!!

kirrilly - 10 Jul 09 at 10:33:22

Best to check you got the quote right before you get it permanently inked onto your body.

katrina - 10 Jul 09 at 12:07:15

you know what… people need to stop hating. i think the idea is beautiful, and like stephanie said, it still appears.

i really, really love this.

giselle - 30 Aug 09 at 13:51:21

i love this. :)

Steph - 15 Oct 09 at 12:12:22

seriously. it’s not the most known way to say the phrase, however “..and so it goes” appears several times in the book as well. what the hell is wrong with you guys. cute tats.

Getting ‘So it goes’ lacks originality. In my opinion ‘Slaughterhouse 5′ is a terrible book
