New tattoo

Last June I could make one of my dreams come true by travelling to Saint Petersburg, the one in Russia, not the one in Florida. It was a striking experience. The last day I finally got to visit the Dostoevsky museum, situated in one of his former appartments. This touched me deeply, especially the details about his imprisonement in Siberia; how he was forbidden to write or read anything that was not the Bible, the long hours of physical labour and how,somehow, even if he always had been a sombre person, he adored his children and was an affectionate father and husband. It was inspiring, and I decided then to get a Dostoevsky tattoo. I do not intend to compare my last three years in Germany to being deprived of my freedom by a Tsar but it has not been a walk through the park either. Anyway, I like the idea of staying pure at heart even after living through adversities that may turn you into an embittered cynic. Just today Mr P and I got appointments with this guy and I think he would make a nice version of the old man. Any thoughts on that?
