The Tattoo Literacy Story
Evers, Maurice Anthony (2011-04-12)
>>MAURICE ANTHONY EVERS: My name is Maurice Anthony Evers and this is my tattoo literacy story. Anyways, here is one of them I just got. I have scripture from the Bible that is tattoo on my body. Basically, I was raised in the Church and I never really liked religion, not a huge fan of it even now. But I like the language of the scriptures so I would hear my bishop quote these scriptures that you just quote for hours on different Bible scripture, so what I would do is hear something I liked and go research. 
>>MAURICE ANTHONY EVERS:  So I would just spent hours and hours just reading psalms and proverbs where a lot of the scriptures I would hear, I would want to find them and find the context and look at the different translations. I just began to read more scripture based on just what I heard. When it came time to get my tattoos, I decided to go with scripture. I got this one and I am getting it finished next week. It is going to be continued scripture. And this one as well. 
>>MAURICE ANTHONY EVERS: It is just my literacy story based on hearing the language, researching it further, more reading of the scripture and actually putting on my body as a form of self expression.
