The Art of War

Sueanne sent in this shot of a matching she tattoo she has with her friend Taylor..

Taylor and I have been in many fights together; we’re ride or die bitches and best friends. Since I’m heading back up to Northern Nevada for college, we decided to get matching tattoos to symbolize our summer: Crazy days, wild drunken nights & picking fights with the wrong people. It’s from the Art of War by Sun Tzu:

In the practical art of war, to shatter and destroy is not so good. To fight and conquer in all battles is not supreme excellence. Supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.

We kind of pulled from two different parts of the book, but it fits! Oh, Taylor’s on the right.

This video offers a rare (not exclusive, but rare) glimpse of iconic tattooist Cliff Raven at work. Of all the videos I had in my “to do” pile, this one was the one I was looking forward to the most. As long as Roo wants to keep posting them (Roo: I do, I do!) I’ll keep converting them!

Cheers.
