Tattoo and Text

We mostly associate tattoos with great design. It is art after all. But we sometimes forget there are great tattoos out there with text. This is one from Matt's website which I found amazing. The actual text of the tattoo is copied below. This tattoo is certainly a great inspiration to focus the attention on text and fonts and not just on design.

This is what it's all about:

Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all that claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think every thing you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told to want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic.
You have been warned- Tyler.
