"I’m going to get tattooed tomorrow. I like getting tattoos. They seal off my pores from the world. It’s like a coat to put on. You are showing less and less of yourself. Giving less of yourself to them. Less for them, more for you. This is good. Most people don’t like tattoos. They say stupid things like, “Won’t you regret that in 20 years?” I’d regret a wife and kids more, thanks. Tattoos are permanent. They stay on for life. They make you say something. I am no longer a Caucasian. No. My skin is white, black, green, red, purple, yellow, etc. I am a minority."
