My darling roommate, Chloe, informed me recently that she wanted to get another tattoo.  You might remember seeing her first tattoo here.  This time she wanted to get a quote tattooed on her ribs.  The quote was read in a scene from Patch Adams.  It's very touching and the placement is fitting.  She invited me to go with her.  Of course, I had to document the outing.

 

The quote is:

"So I love you because I know no other way than this:

Where I does not exist,

nor you,

so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,

so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep."

- Pablo Neruda

 

 

 

 

Both Chloe and Matt Carmer from New Republic Tattoo did an amazing job.  Chloe took the tattoo to the ribs like a champ.  Matt just did what he does best.  It looks amazing.

 

 

Maybe someday I will find something that I like enough to put on my body for the rest of my life.  Until then, I will see what Chloe decides her next one will be.
