ThINK: Books & Tattoos - Katie 
Image by Crossett Library Bennington College Two of my tattoos are based upon the written word. The first of the two is a line from a Denver spoken word poet by the name of Lenny C, an eighty year old man who lived in the capital of Colorado during the height of the Beat generation. The bohemian, activist spirit never left him and he continues to write new poems weekly on the back of receipts from his pizza delivery business, never to be officially published. The particular line of his I chose, "live free and love fearlessly," serves as a constant reminder to do just that - to live and love as never before. My second literary tattoo tends to garner quite a few funny looks - yes, it is the Dealthy Hallows symbol. I got the tattoo this past June after nearly a year of contemplation. I finally settled on getting the tattoo this past summer as the series came to its official close - the summer that happened to be the same summer before I left for Bennington, a time in which I felt my childhood was also coming to an official end. This is not to say that my childhood is over, however, and I feel the tattoo commemorates the idea that the magic of childhood (pun intended) never really ends.
