Where The Sidewalk Ends on my back. I’m an artist and Shel Silverstein is my biggest inspiration. When I first saw his books and compilations, I thought to myself, “This is exactly what I want to do.” His artwork permanently inked on me serves as a reminder to pursuit my dreams. http://sloth-empress.tumblr.com/
This is my second tattoo, and I got it done by Danny D at The Chosen One Ink in Arlington, Texas. Its a drawing and quote from my favorite book, The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. It’s also the first book that my mother ever gave me. Some of my first memories are of her reading this book to me, so its pretty meaningful.

My Shel Silverstein tattoo. I love my beard and this reminds me to live carefree and not be so serious all the time! Done by the wonderful Airian at Chapters Tattoos in Casper, Wy
