Do you like my tattoo?

Do you like my tattoo? Just couldn't decide which one.
It isn't easy. So tricky to pick the one image that says it all. Would a "No Coward Soul is mine" poem by Emily Bronte too dodgy? What about a bit of "Nights of the Circus" by Angela Carter, a bit of the wonderful Fever's dialogue with dropped 'h's everywhere? Or perhaps I could have chosen a bit of my own novel, this one or the last one, or the one before that, a bit of self promotion, or my screenplay or my two stage plays, a new technique in marketing? Perhaps I could have chosen an Aesop's fable? Or some clever morse code in dots and dashes to be decoded. Or perhaps Emily Dickinson should have been my pick - "I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word. Sometimes I write one, and I look at it, until it begins to shine".
So I went something biblical, the old Testament is so Posh Spice, so I went with the New. It is very discreet. No one will really notice it. Just a few little words about love. I am sure you will think it most tasteful.


Just joking. I am unmarked. But do check out this site: Contrariwise, about the craze of literary tattoos. How would one ever choose!
