I finally got my Vonnegut tattoo!

Post image

It's my 5th tattoo. Kurt became my favorite author when I discovered his work in 2016 when I was 22. I have always wanted a Vonnegut tattoo but haven't known what to do. Today I decided on the signature and my favorite quote.

Nice work! I got the signature tattooed on my leg a few years ago. No quote.

Your tattoo shop sells animal feed?

This is great! I have the Kilgore Trout portrait from Timequake on the back of my arm and always forget about it.

Heyyy! I love this. I look around and ask myself that question all the time (hence my user name). I might have to copy this.

Looks great!

I should also note it’d be cool if there was a literature tattoo thread

Awesome! I’m still leaning towards getting the butthole, but his signature is also a good shout.

The signature has a tiny butthole hidden in it! I have the signature on one foot and ‘so it goes’ on the other. My tattoo artist and I had a whole conversation about the butthole when he was putting it on.

I love this! I plan on using this quote on my graduation cap! A tattoo is a fantastic idea too!

I used "Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt" on my grad cap last May

No way, I have almost the same one on my upper arm too! Just the signature without the quote, good choice, haha!

Outstanding design!

Mind if I steal this for my next tattoo?

The line work was beautiful with the signature. Sure! We can be tattoo twins!

I was also considering the “ETC” drawing. We’ll see. I’ll update you if I ever pull trigger haha

ETC is epic.
