"So It Goes"

This is my first tattoo. I had wanted it for four years and finally worked up the strength to get it, plus it's been a very hard year for me so it only seemed appropriate. This is not the design or lettering I wanted when I first went in to the tattoo shop. However, I am extremely happy with it. I hope it stays that way.

For those of you that don't know, "So It Goes," is a famous line from the American writer, Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s most famous novel, Slaughterhouse 5.

Slaughterhouse 5 is one of the greatest anti-war novels ever written, and was banned in the U.S. for several years. Some states still make it illegal for Slaughterhouse 5 to be taught in schools, and Sarah Palin tried to ban the book in public libraries in Alaska.
