"It was an impulse tattoo. My roommates and I were in Amsterdam on Halloween and thought, "What the hell?" They immediately knew exactly what they wanted, but I sat on the floor of the tattoo parlor for over an hour trying to figure out exactly what I wanted and where.

"I think my wrist tattoos are my favorite. They capture almost exactly who I am as a person. It says "And I am aware of my heart, it opens and closes". My heart will open to people, people will leave and it'll close them out. But no matter what, my heart will continue to pump blood through my veins. As long as I live it will open and close and open and close. It keeps going. It moves on."
