Not to pick holes, but the three tattoos should either read ‘and so it went; and so it goes; and so it will go’ or ‘and so it was; and so it is; and so it will be’ … ‘and so it goes’ does not fit the other two, ‘goes’ and ‘is’ are two separate verbs.

“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.”

@sd:

First off, you just said “lulz” and “gtfo”… Why don’t *you* get back to Myspace?

Also, this wasn’t tattooed on you, so stop complaining. She probably added “and” to get it to match the pattern of the other two, which aren’t from Slaughterhouse Five are they? Would you have been okay with the tattoo if you hadn’t known that she was a fan of Vonnegut? Because then it’d just be a quote, and you would have no room for complaint other than the tattoo isn’t to your tastes.

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

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.

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

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!!

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

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

it rolls better with “and”, imo.

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

seems kind of dumb to me…

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.

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.
