This is my third tattoo, and the second I’ve got at Dare Devil Tattoo in the LES NYC.
The line is from Walt Whitman’s Song of Myself; it goes:
Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)To me it represents all the many definitions and versions of who I am, not just one fixed thing, but complex, always evolving and growing.
probably my favorite whitman quote.
Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself
