I wear my culture on my skin. They wan’t me to make me forget who I am, the beauty of my heritage, but to do it they got to peel my skin off. And if they ever do that. They’ll kill me doing it-that’s good, because once they make you forget the language and history, they’ve killed you anyway.I’m alive and free, no matter how many bars they put me behind”-Jimmy Santiago Baca

To me this shows the true beauty in a woman, which so many people are against just because women are tattooed this shows the pride in her face, the i do not really care what you think i am beautiful in my own skin.
