A shortened quote (pg 563) from the book House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewsk, one of the most memorable books I’ve ever read. Typography inspired by pages 227-230. Had the idea mostly already in my head, and then saw how good this tattoo looked: http://mybodyisacage.deviantart.com/art/house-of-leaves-105839405?offset=30, and I was set on it. Done in Jinx Proof in Georgetown, DC by Tim.

when my dad died i got this tattoo, it is a buddhist saying in khmer
“no one saves us but ourselves,
no one may and no one can,
we ourselves must walk the path”
This was done 24 hours ago, on 16th May 2011 at Self Sacrifice in London, UK. They are known for their amazing quality in tattoos and I went there highly recommended by many friends. It paid off; they were sweet and I’m so happy with how it has turned out.
It’s my- very polite- fuck you to the haters.

These are the last two lines from Lolita, and may be the most perfect sentences ever written.
