Favorite quotes from this talk See all
In a lot of ways, tattooing is like creating your own scrapbook that you wear every day. It connects you to your past, whereas you may not look at it and actively think about your past every day, you have that opportunity, and it can link you to what you were 15, 10, 5 years ago, or last week.
