This is my first and only tattoo. It’s of Darwin’s famous finches, but with their beaks turned toward one another, forming a sort of butterfly. I am an undergraduate biology major and this tattoo symbolizes my adoration for evolution and the natural sciences as well as my respect for Charles Darwin’s genius. The tattoo was done by Liaa Walter at British Ink in Washington, DC. She is wonderful and I plan on having more work done by her!

I wish it hadn’t taken me this long to discover this photo. So much love!
” ‘What’s bad and what’s good? What should we love and what should we hate? What is life for, and what am I? What is life? What is death? What kind of force is it that directs everything?’ he kept asking himself. And there were no answers to any of these questions, except one illogical response that didn’t answer any of them. And that response was: ‘You’re going to die, and it will be over and done with. You’re going to die and you’ll either come to know everything or stop asking.’ But dying was horrible too.”
—Leo Tolstoy
“All trials are trials for one’s life, just as all sentences are sentences of death; and three times I have been tried. The first time I left the box to be arrested, the second time to be led back to the house of detention, the third time to pass into a prison for two years. Society, as we have constituted it, will have no place for me, has none to offer; but nature, whose sweet rains fall on unjust and just alike, will have clefts in the rocks where I may hide, and secret valleys in whose silence I may weep undisturbed. She will hang the night with stars so that I may walk abroad in the darkness without stumbling, and send the wind over my footprints that none may track me to my hurt: she will cleanse me in great waters, and with bitter herbs make me whole.”
—Oscar Wilde

God damn.
What in the hell? James Franco is almost the spit image of him here. Maybe with Joan from Mad Men’s hubs.
