For westerners, the tattoo has always been a metaphor of difference.
~Margo DeMello, Bodies of Inscription: A Cultural History of the Modern Tattoo Community, 2000

Tattooing is about personalizing the body, making it a true home and fit temple for the spirit that dwells inside it. ----MICHELLE DELIO, Tattoo: The Exotic Art of Skin Decoration


Your body is a temple, but how long can you live in the same house before you redecorate? ~Author Unknown

Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around. -"Vanilla Sky"

 Good tattoos aren't cheap and cheap tattoos aren't good. ----Unknown, Author


The world is divided into two kinds of people: those who have tattoos, and those who are afraid of people with tattoos. ~Author Unknown


Your necklace may break, the fau tree may burst, but my tattooing is indestructible. It is an everlasting gem that you will take into your grave. ~Verse from a traditional tattoo artist's song, as quoted on pbs.org, "Skin Stories: The Art and Culture of Polynesian Tattoo," 2003

 When the designs are chosen with care, tattoos have a power and magic all their own. They decorate the body but they also enhance the soul.
~Michelle Delio


A genuine tattoo.... tells a story. I like stories and tattoos, no matter how well done, and if they don't tell a story that involves you emotionally, then they're just there for decoration, then they're not a valid tattoo. There has to be some emotional appeal or they're not, to my way of thinking, a real tattoo. It tells people what you are and what you believe in, so there's no mistakes.
~Leo, tattooist, 1993, quoted in Margo DeMello, Bodies of Inscription, 2000

Inking without a plan gives Booth freedom to explore the desires of those seated in his chair, he says, to feed off their energy, allowing his clients' demons to help guide the needle.  ~Joshua Lipton, about tattoo artist Paul Booth, "Bad Skin," Rolling Stone, 28 March 2002


Primitive tribes were certainly convinced that the spirit, having escaped from the body at death, retained a replica of its earthly tenement.  They therefore used tattoo marks as a means of identification in the next world and a passport to future happiness.  ~Ronald Scutt

Beauty is skin deep.  A tattoo goes all the way to the bone.  ~Vince Hemingson


Tattooing is about personalizing the body, making it a true home and fit temple for the spirit that dwells inside it.... Tattooing therefore, is a way of keeping the spiritual and material needs of my body in balance.  ~Michelle Delio
