I represent the sins

wilde

This is Haley's tattoo.

The tattoo is an Oscar Wilde quote from The Picture of Dorian Gray: "I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit."

Quite honestly I hate Oscar Wilde but the quote represents my personality perfectly. Saying and doing everything that everyone else is scared of. It was done by Greg Larimer in Pittsburgh, PA and the lettering is all hand done, no font.

    The lettering is stunning. What a beauty of a tat this is.

    I’m sad that you hate Oscar Wilde, but this is an excellent choice.
