  2. ...while lit up by the preternatural light, Queequeg's tattooing burned like Satanic blue flames on his body.

  3. [P]rimitive 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

  4. A man without tattoos is invisible to the Gods.  Iban proverb

  5. “A tattoo is a true poetic creation, and is always more than meets the eye. As a tattoo is grounded on living skin, so its essence emotes a poignancy unique to the mortal human condition.” V. Vale and Andrea Juno, Modern Primitives

  6. “I understand. I’m not your type, too many tattoos. Thing is, there isn’t much to do in prison except desecrate your flesh.” Max Cady

  7. “Just because there are things I don't remember doesn't make my actions meaningless. The world doesn't just disappear when you close your eyes, does it? Anyway, maybe I'll take a photograph to remind myself, get another freaky tattoo.” Lenny Shelby

  10. I’ve Done It

  11. “Memory can change the shape of a room; it can change the color of a car. And memories can be distorted. They're just an interpretation, they're not a record, and they're irrelevant if you have the facts.” Leonard Shelby
