And I wish you’d a-known her, we were quite a pair
She was sharp as a razor and soft as a prayer

- Excerpt from the Tom Waits song Bad Liver And a Broken Heart.

This tattoo comes from Anne in Toronto, who says:

I’ve always loved that line and feel it perfectly represents the duality that seems to define me. It’s also a tribute to Waits, who is one of my heroes (as cheesy as that is) and favourite artist.

i normally detest tattoos but this one is really cool. i like that it looks like the place your wings were clipped. it’s extra good if you are a gemini. :)

I love this so much. I’m getting Tom Waits lyrics in much the same place later on this month:

“hey little bird, fly away home
your house is on fire, children are alone”
