Vonnegut Collage

It's Saturday, and since you've all established exactly how much you enjoy So it Goes Saturdays, I'm going to take a break from that and post something a little different.  This dedicated fan has 9 tattoos from various Vonnegut works.

This post is image-heavy!

  1. Wow, that's all on one leg?!

    That is some lit love. :)

  2. A bow…

    The gravestone is the best one, in a sea of excellency.

    A bow!

  3. Ahaha, you're a star, Jen.

    This is pretty impressive, I bet the overall effect is awesome.

  4. Wow, these are fab. A true tribute!

    I'm equally impressed that there has been a "so it goes" tattoo posted that Severus hasn't immediately damned. Whoop!

  5. I never said I don't like the "So It goes", I just said there are too many.

  6. It still amounts to you damning each and every one, Severus.

  7. Ah, I almost forgot…I love these! The Tralfamadorian is a great idea for a tattoo.

  8. Actually, I've even had emails from people saying "too many So It Goes tattoos! D:"

    I've only posted 13. 13!!!! By the time I get to 116, no one will want to come to my website anymore. :(

  9. Anon…I'm still pretty conviced that all you are giving to much importance about what I said. And your 2 comments show me right! BTW, don't make things up, it changes everything.

    Secondly, In about 20 tattos I posted, there are 2 of them with negative opinions…and even those are not about the tattoo per se. Why don't you focus on the positive ones comments?

    And so there is no confusion, I was NOT one of the ppl who did send e-mails.

    One more time, comment the tattoos…

  10. Very, very nice. Love the dates under the birdcage.

  11. very very cool, i currently have two vonnegut tattoos however I have taken a bit of liberty in adding color and changing the style just a bit, anyway i love the tats, keep em coming!

  12. I'm a Vonnegut fan, but this is a bit much…

  13. not an asterisk.
