Though I do not feel comfortable recommending a specific lyric – for reasons having to with assisting with such a personal choice – I did want to drop in to share my love of Bon Iver.

The shop’s motto appears to be “Let’s make a deal” – which, when having something permanently etched into my skin, I’d rather not, you know, like, make a deal. In fact, I’d much rather pay a hefty premium for excellent work…[Read more]

I have one tattoo – all text, the last sentence from David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest, my favorite novel. It was applied to my inner forearm, and stretches from slightly below the crease in my arm, right on down to my wrist. It hurt like hell – a good bit more than I anticipated – sort of like the way an angry little hornet’s sting might f…[Read more]
