Switzerland Quotes

I always have a lot of things going on because some things take years to make and others take five minutes. I like that there's always something going on. Working doesn't have such a momentous feel - like it's all or nothing.
I love seeing tattoos on 60-year-olds who have had them for 40 years.
I think when tattoos are new and colorful, they look bad. But they look better the older and more bleached out they become.

Everyone takes pictures, so you need to have your own opinion.
