And, I got INKED - Again!

I knew this was coming. I knew I would get another tattoo when I got inked last time  (more than 2 years ago) - not exactly what and when. But I enjoyed the process and would want another one. Remember, last time, I just got onto this mood and set off on my first tattoo journey. The similar happened this time as well. Going through a lot of ups and down, a lot to hold onto this poor small brain - I went to this phase, again. I had been thinking of getting a second tattoo. I had been browsing the internet for inspirations, for something that would match up to the values I wanted to write onto my body, saving a lot of tattoo pictures and designs.

In the dedication, he wrote, “Dedicated to nobody.” It is then strange that on Bukowski’s tombstone, the epitaph reads: “Don’t try.” And his success stemmed not from some determination to be a winner, but from the fact that he knew he was a loser, accepted it, and then wrote honestly about it.

It was his simple ability to be completely, unflinchingly honest with himself—especially the worst parts of himself—and to share his failings without hesitation or doubt.
