The top tattoo is a reference to the concept of timshel developed by John Steinbeck in East of Eden, the symbolism of rivers developed by Hermann Hesse in Siddhartha, and Robert Frost’s poetry describing birch trees.

The gadfly tattoo is a Socrates reference—Socrates was always called a gadfly by the haters for asking questions, challenging the status quo, and being “pesky”.

Literary tattoos are the greatest tattoos.

Both done by my best friend Macauley.
