I think I could give my heart to a girl with a Sylvia Plath tattoo.

I LOVE IT. And Sylvia. Forever.

The only word I can come up with at the moment is awesome, but that is such a pitiful excuse for the internal feeling that the tattoo itsself manifested in me. How profoud…

love it..is it a font the artist created itself or a pc font, i.e. can you tell me where to get it?

Seriously? You got a tattoo of a bunch of Sylvia Plath garbage, and you couldn’t even bother to quote her correctly? EPIC FAIL.

Alex please tell me you are trolling and don’t actually think that.

Gaman, I lold.

It actually is “brag”, not “bray”. I’m looking at it in print right now.

I’m not dissing, I swear. I love this tattoo. But I just looked in the book, and my copy says brag.

OH EMM GEE WAT A TOTALLY EMO TATOO

enjoy your lifelong memory of something stupid you did when you were younger, and supposedly “smarter.” once you grow up, you’ll probably wonder why in the name of all that is carbon did you do something so stupid.

roflocopters, even.

about “brag” or “bray”: there are two versions of the quote depending on which copy of the book you have.
