The Great Gatsby
This is Sam's tattoo.
The tattoo is part one of a three part series I plan on getting- the last lines from my three favorite books. Not only is the last line of The Great Gatsby intriguing, it also embodies the entire message and journey of the book- that is, Gatsby's regression into the past as he continues to live into the future. I got my tattoo at Route 66 Ink in Portland, Connecticut.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
- Last line in The Great Gatsby

I, too, have typewriter ink on my arm I love the font. I love the quote. I love this tattoo.
