So I got this tattoo right after the book tattoo. This is more of an inside joke with me and my best friend from high school. And it's my handwriting. On me forever. It's on the back of my calf and hurt way less than the book.

Rachel.Rencher You have pretty handwriting! 6y

Tattoo artist Henk Schiffmacher is kind of our national hero. One day he went on a trip to the jungle of Borneo in search of the origin of tribal tattoos. He wrote a book about this expedition (not listed on Litsy so I chose another). This book, well, let‘s just say he tattoos better than he writes.
I just had to read it because he took Anthony Kiedis with him... 😍 #WelcomeToTheJungle #Rocktober

I-read-and-eat Same! The book is not very good, but the celebrity crush demands it 🙈 7y

When you unexpectedly have to move furniture and are reunited with your loves! Yes, major dust, once everything is arranged I will give my babies a good cleaning. The chair too. The books are hiding the hole my puppy Zelda ate in the side of this chair. She was kind of mad I left her home that day!
