For the record, I wouldn't actually consider getting a "Daddy" tattoo. If that was unclear. |
Seriously we should be friends. I've wanted a Sylvia Plath tattoo for years! Haha. I was thinking of getting a fig tree (from the Bell Jar) or tulips (from the poem), but haven't begun planning anything further than that. But yeah, that's tricky. Her work means a lot to me, but I can see how having a Plath tattoo would invite unwanted judgements.
I am, however, almost completely settled on getting "I am" on my forearm. It comes from my favorite quote in the Bell Jar: "I took a deep breath and listened to the old bray of my heart: I am, I am, I am."
