Tulips
This tattoo belongs to Dese’Rae Stage (see her other tattoo), and was done by Ryan Falcon at Almost Famous Tattoo in Miami, FL.
3 lines from the poem "Tulips" by Sylvia Plath:
And I am aware of my heart: it opens and closes Its bowl of red blooms out of sheer love of me.
I am nobody; I have nothing to do with explosions.
And I have no face, I have wanted to efface myself.

Seconded – it's beautiful. The use of the text as stems is brilliant.

oh my goodness, how beautiful and original! It's so hard to integrate text into an image like this, and here it is done beautifully.
