I promise you that the time will come, if you have tattoos, that you will regret your actions. They cannot be washed off. They are permanent. Only by an expensive and painful process can they be removed. If you are tattooed, then probably for the remainder of your life you will carry it with you.
My observations are not bread crumbs. They do not dissolve. They are on record, on film printed in books, and found on the Internet. I am happy to share them. For this I was born.
I have 'Very Rare' tatted on my face.
I'd say to all kids, don't have a tattoo until you're 21.
I have multiple tattoos.
I finally had a ship tattooed to my chest. I wanted something on it.
I have Bob Dylan lyrics on my ribs. I'm a diehard Dylan fan, and my dad and I joke that if I ever met him, I'd have him sign his name right under my tattoo and then I'd run to the parlor to get his signature tattooed.
Sometimes I bust out and do things so permanent. Like tattoos and marriage.
Some people care about their work lasting forever - I have little interest in it.
What I'm trying to do now in my life - not just with the building, but with everything - is to construct things that will have enduring qualities, and won't just be ephemeral flashes in the pan.
I have a Superman tattoo on my right arm.
As soon as I saw tattoos as a way to tell your story, I thought, 'Oh my gosh, I totally get it.' So I got my first tattoo a couple of years ago, and it's the word 'hope' on my left arm. It has a couple of dots at the end for each of my kids.
I think it would be the biggest regret of mine - getting anything tattooed.
A slug can leave but there's always a slimy trail behind him.
Referring to the potential political impact of the resignation of U. S. Attorney, Edward Meese:
I have the word 'Shameless' tattooed on my chest.
A tattoo is graffiti on the temple of the body.
I wrote my will across the sky, in stars
The tattoo that means the most to me would probably be my Chinese symbol on my neck. It means love - I got it on Mother's Day.
I want to affect culture. I want to have my mark on everything. I give examples of people like Bill Cosby, Quincy Jones - those are the people who I look up to. The game wouldn't be the same without them. What happens in the course of 5 years isn't really important to me. I care about what they'll say about me in 50 years.
Can one end anything? A chapter, a paragraph, a sentence even? Doesn't everything one has ever done go on living in spite of subsequent events?
When I got 'forever' tattooed on my throat, it meant that my legacy was going to live forever. So anything that I create, I do it because I believe it will live on, forever.
Love stories are written in millimeters and milliseconds with a fast, dull pencil whose marks you can barely see, they are written in miles and eons with a chisel on the side of a mountiantop
If you think about stuff that happened when you were young, it stays with you forever.
I don't want people to receive me because I scored 20 points. I want it to be because I made an impression on them that lasts forever.
So much of what we do is ephemeral and quickly forgotten, even by ourselves, so it's gratifying to have something you have done linger in people's memories.
