Tattoo Quote by Ron Koertge
““With his iPod all the way up, nothing in this world can touch him. Just over his pulse is a fresh tattoo- a dotted line and the words -----Cut Here----- Grief is a street he skates down. "Hey, donkey's ass!" He bides his time, sanding away his fingerprints, wondering how he could get his assailants in one room.””
