    Everyone wonders why I’ll put book quotes and imagery all over my arms but none are from living authors.

      I want some Douglas Adams quotes on me at some point. That and the little green alien from the cover of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

        He’s been gone for over 20 years. I’ve considered a few select quotes from him as well. I’ve also got a Robert Jordan, a Kurt Vonnegut, and a well hidden Terry Pratchett and they were more recent.

        My sleeve is so busy that you’d never know about the Pratchett unless you were looking for it and the Jordan could probably be taken a few different ways. If it comes out that they were crazy pieces of shit I can always cover them.

        As a side note, OSC is actually the reason I will never have a living author quote or image on my body. Once someone is dead I’ll do a search to see if there was something I didn’t know before I ink myself.
