“But you can’t give your heart to a wild thing; the more you do, the stronger they get. Until they’re strong enough to run into the woods. Or fly into a tree. Then a taller tree. Then the sky. That’s how you’ll end up if you love a wild thing. You’ll end up looking at the sky. But believe me- it’s better to look at the sky than to live there. Such an empty place; so vague. just a country where the thunder goes and things disappear…”
- Excerpt from Breakfast at Tiffany’s
This tattoo is on Coco:
I went alone to the best tattoo place in DC (Jinxproof – I wouldn’t go anywhere else!) to get my pretty painful rib tattoo and it was one of the most exhilarating and empowering experiences of my life. I would definitely recommend going alone to get a personal tattoo– it felt fantastic!

I adore this. It’s stunning. Would you find telling me what the font is? I’m having a rib tattoo done in the next few weeks, but horizontal as opposed to verticle, and I still haven’t decided what font exactly.
Thanks! It’s Zaphino. I picked it because it looks elegant without being so intricate that you can’t read it. :)
This is one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite books, and was excellently formatted- The font and placement are just perfect.
i have two pieces from jinx proof; they are amazing. this is very nice work.
I have been to jinkproof – got the bird i drew on my front hip there. DC BORN AND BRED!!! REPRESENT! love jinxproof.
