This tattoo is from Harry Potter. The quote is “Slowly, very slowly, he sat up, and as he did so he felt more alive and more aware of his own living body than ever before. Why had he never appreciated the miracle he was, brain and nerve and bounding heart?” It’s right after Harry sees into Snape’s memories and when he finally understands what he must do; his last thoughts as he gathers up the courage to go die is that he should have appreciated just simply being alive. I really like that sentiment, and I really love the lessons Rowling taught on not fearing death. I got the tattoo done by the wonderful Matt Lutsch in Eugene, Oregon at The Parlor Tattoo.
look at the ink details.
