I’m lovin’ this HARD.
AWESOME.
’nuff said
That looks really good. Not something I’d mind reading every day, either.
Glad others like it. It took a long time to get this one right but I have to smile everyday knowing I’ll have this stamped on my arm until its my time to fertilize a juniper tree.
How would you feel about other people using the design? I am sorely tempted.
This is amazing
extremely well laid-out tattoo. And a damn good quote, too.
This is my favorite poem in the whole wide world and I have often wanted to have that line etched on my skin.
