So it goes #22

This tattoo belongs to Louis.

Kurt Vonnegut is one of my all time favorite authors and I absolutely love Slaughterhouse Five. This phrase has always stuck out to me and I love how simply it sums up even the most tragic events. Life happened and there is no way to avoid it…so it goes.

This was posted as a part of “So it Goes” Saturdays. The phrase “so it goes” appears in Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five 106 times. Can you help me collect 106 “so it goes” tattoos? 22 down, 84 to go.
