I finally got the tattoo I had been pining over for the last several years.
It's a Jack Kerouac quote that has a lot of depth and meaning to me.
I got it on my rib cage despite everyone telling me it was terribly painful.

To me, the words mean be your word. Be what you say. Be honest and be true-- and you shall need no witness.
I place a lot of sentiment and faith in honesty and truth. I think that being who you say you are and doing what you say you're going to do is the most important quality man can have.

This is Jack Kerouac's quote from the book "Some of the Dharma".

I chose an uneven typewriter font and intended it to look raw and tattered.
It really is more on my ribs than it looks in that photo. I had to twist a little to be able to take the photo. :)
