EL CHAVO! (elchavo) on April 19th, 2008 @ 12:15 am
I see a lot of people with LA tattoos, most of them meatheads that will never experience anything outside of the city, maybe just a few weekend trips to Las Vegas. It’s a pretty crappy looking tat, but worst is the assumption this person makes they will always be into this city. It’s like getting a tat of your favorite band of the moment; destined to irrelevancy.

When I get my LA tattoo (which won’t be like the above) it won’t be because I don’t know what else is out there, but rather so when I’m out there I know where my heart is.

I could go on and on but I think the point speaks for itself. [...]
