“There is no such thing, at this date of the world’s history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it… The business of the journalist is to destroy truth; To lie outright; To pervert; To vilify; To fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it and what folly is this toasting an independent press?” - John Swinton - Chief of Staff New York Times 1880.

This tattoo remains incomplete after many years; and I am still unsure as to how to finish it. Eventually the dragons claws will be a moment away from tearing into ??? There is however already a message in the tattoo, and the quote above hints at the message.

I have to say that of all my tattoos this one has been the most painful.
