Dear Rives,
I got this tattoo about two and a half months ago after hearing "Mockingbird" on TEDtalks. The tattoo artist drew it after I gave him the concept and told him I wanted it to look like a doodle. This is my first tattoo, and when people ask me about it I give them a brief summary of the poem (making sure to recite the line about putting mockingbirds gently into Mason jars like mockingbird Molotov cocktails) and telling them that the poem means a lot to me because my only life goal is to help everyone get heard, and no matter who you are or where you come from, you can have this one honest mockingbird as a witness.
