Books on my right forearm. Really no meaning to it other than a) I like reading and b) I like the way books look.

I got this quote from “The People” by Charles Bukowski. I fell in love with this section the first time I read it years ago. It’s such a powerful and versatile quote. Personally, it reminds me that you aren’t willing to put forth effort to change until you’re sick of what you’ve got, and you can’t keep on living the same way. When you’re ready to make that change for yourself, it doesn’t matter what you’re up against. If you want to change, you can make it happen. 

I got this done by Mike at High Resolution Tattoo in Baton Rouge, LA.

“Write hard and clear about what hurts.  Don’t avoid it.  It has all the energy.  Don’t worry, no one died of it.  You might cry or laugh, but not die.”
