Description: I have always wanted a "fire" tattoo, but didn't want what everyone else had. My favorite book of all time is Fahrenheit 451. It is a dystopian speculative fiction novel authored by Ray Bradbury and first published in 1953.

The central character, Guy Montag, is employed as a "fireman" (which, in this future, means "book burner"). The number "451" refers to the temperature (in Fahrenheit) at which the books burn[1] when the "firemen" burn them "for the good of humanity". This is the cover art of the protagonist "Montag" drawn by Joe Mugnaini in the 1950s. Came out great!
