― V. Vale, Re/Search #12: Modern Primitives

“I love heavily tattooed women. I imagine their lives are filled with sensuality and excess, madness and generosity, impulsive natures and fights. They look like they have endured much pain and sadness, yet have the ability to transcend all of it by documenting it on the body”
― Margaret Cho

“A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally.”
― Oscar Wilde

“Show me a man with a tattoo and I'll show you a man with an interesting past.”
