Katherine explains her tattoo:

From Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut.

"Busy, busy, busy is what a Bokononist whispers 'whenever [he] thinks about how complicated and unpredictable the machinery of life really is.'"

It is placed on the foot in reference to boko-maru.

"The boko-maru is a Bokononist ritual for 'the mingling of awarenesses'. It consists in two people extending their legs, thrusting their arms behind them for support, and putting their bare feet together."

  1. This is possibly the coolest tattoo in the universe.

    I may get one similar.

  3. I bet that hurt a bit. I mean more than a usual tattoo on a bicep or other muscle.
