BreakfastatTiffany's

“But you can’t give your heart to a wild thing; the more you do, the stronger they get. Until they’re strong enough to run into the woods. Or fly into a tree. Then a taller tree. Then the sky. That’s how you’ll end up if you love a wild thing. You’ll end up looking at the sky. But believe me- it’s better to look at the sky than to live there. Such an empty place; so vague. just a country where the thunder goes and things disappear…”

- Excerpt from Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Truman Capote

This tattoo is on Coco:

I went alone to the best tattoo place in DC (Jinxproof – I wouldn’t go anywhere else!) to get my pretty painful rib tattoo and it was one of the most exhilarating and empowering experiences of my life. I would definitely recommend going alone to get a personal tattoo– it felt fantastic!
