Tattoo #13
Last night, with the upcoming trache change and all, I decided to go for my thirteenth tattoo. I’m really into Elliott Smith, I think his music is some of the truest, most honest music ever written.

That is a fantastic song; good choice. Elliot Smith is the perfect companion for heartbreak and pensive reflection. I like the new tattoo.
A sad backstory but a gorgeous tattoo.
love that song, love this tat.
