Caitlin and Her Friends Ask With a Tattoo

Written By bombomtox on Aug 2, 2013 | 11:53 AM

I love textual tattoos and am more inclined to stop people who have words inscribed on their flesh.

Caitlin, for example, had these words tattooed on the backs of her legs:


Her left leg reads "nature is a language" and her right leg asks "can't you read?"

About eight years ago, Caitlin told me, she and two of her friends all got this same tattoo, which references lyrics from "Ask" by The Smiths. The work was done by an artist at Bodytech Tattooing and Piercing in Gainesville, Florida. We featured work from the same shop here back in 2008.

Here's the video from the song:



Thanks to Caitlin for sharing this lyrical tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
