body mod

so in my research about a new tattoo idea i have come upon this article:

seriously so sick

more than just looking at that post, if you click their hyperlink refrenced in the text those fucking contact lenses that say "REC"!!!! WTF?!?!?!?

so for my tattoo, i want a passage from House of Leaves that is in braille. the translation is:

"the walls are endlessly bare. nothing hangs on them, nothing defines them. they are without texture. even to the keenest eye or most sentinent fingertip, they remain unreadable. you will never find a mark there. no trace survives. the walls obliterate everything. they are permanently absolved of all record. oblique, forever obscure and unwritten. behold the perfect pantheon of absence."

i really like this passage and i am gonna try to scan the actual braille from the book and post it, it's really pretty. the more i read the translation the more i like it. i think it kind of sums up the entire idea of the book. the way i interpreted the book it is about completely journeying into yourself, it's about love, it's about finding out how to share yourself with someone...truly.

i think that passage while relating to the house in the book very literally because it is a pantheon of absence, it also relates metaphorically to any person. the "house" being our "body"

i don't want to start rambling on about this, i am feeling quite inarticulate at the moment.

more later...perhaps...i'll gather my ideas.
