Thing #4

I think Instagram has probably gained more popularity than Flickr these days, but I'm pretty sure they do the same thing. Either way, it is nice to have a repository of images that are available to use. If there is one thing that should be pointed out about online communities, it is that they like to share. One need only to type in a word of what they are looking for and hundreds of images appear straight from the personal lives of internet users from all over the world. This TATTOO is an example of one of the many I looked at before deciding on where and how I wanted my own literary tattoo. I searched tumblr and Instagram and Google Images and after searching high and low, finally figured out what I wanted, Eventually, I figured out what I wanted. On my birthday, August 28th, I got fourteen lines from my favorite book tattooed on me. It not only chronicles my journey over the last year, but it embodies the relationship between my brother and I. The two characters in the book parallel the two of us so much so that I had Bradley write the quote out and then had my tattoo artist copy his handwriting onto my ribs. This might be my favorite tattoo to date.
