By Henry Rollins. 2/17/85 I’m going to get tattooed tomorrow. I like getting tattoos. They seal off my pores from the world. It’s like a coat to put on. You are showing less and less of yourself. Giving less of yourself to them. Less for them, more for you. This is good. Most people don’t like tattoos. They say stupid things like, “Won’t you regret that in 20 years?” I’d regret a wife and kids more, thanks. Tattoos are permanent. They stay on for life. They make you say something. I am no longer a Caucasian. No. My skin is white, black, green, red, purple, yellow, etc. I am a minority. "Henry Rollins Saved My Life" and Other Fan Encounters.

Do you have any interesting stories about meeting him? Did he somehow change your life? The responses nearly swamped our inbox. Here are a few of our favorites. Henry Rollins Saved My Life. In 2002 my antisocial depression reached its lowest point. I was living in Washington, D.C., surrounded by the nadir of early-2000s hipster culture, privileged officers' wives and Beltway snipers. My extroverted, upbeat roommates overwhelmed me, never more so than when they held a cookout swarming with angular haircuts, skinny jeans and Locust T-shirts. Borderline suicidal, I spent a lot of days in bed, staring at the walls, too depressed to stand up. Credit: Photo Courtesy of Nicholas Pell. I didn't party. I retired to my dark room, drank black coffee and reached out to Henry Rollins for a little support and perspective. In hindsight my letter, a ranty list of things I hated about my life, was preciously naive. Why, of all people, would I presume Rollins should care about my life? I scribbled out the letter, a bit like a note to Santa Claus from a kid too old to believe.
