fuckyeahtattoos:Finally got around to mohawking my (awkwardly shaped) head and tattooing it. Couldn’t be more happy. Idea for the fish patterned tattoo comes from the line “like a terrible fish” from Sylvia Plath’s poem “The Mirror” which I also have tattooed on my wrist. Tattoo by Welt of Yama Tattoo Rome. MIRRORI am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions.Whatever I see I swallow immediatelyJust as it is, unmisted by love or dislike.I am not cruel, only truthful-The eye of the little god, four cornered.Most of the time I meditate on the opposite wall.It is pink, with speckles. I have looked at it so longI think it is a part of my heart. But it flickers.Faces and darkness separate us over and over.Now I am a lake. A woman bends over me,Searching my reaches for what she really is.Then she turns to those liars, the candles or the moon.I see her back, and reflect it faithfully.She rewards me with tears and an agitation of hands.I am important to her. She comes and goes.Each morning it is her face that replaces the darkness.In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old womanRises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish.—written 23 October 1961, Sylvia Plath, The Collected Poems -- source link
