11.11.10


Hands locked, they descended upon Barney's Beanery, a frequent haunt, for caffeine, which they now took in desperate helpings. She wore a Tom Waits T-shirt and Depp's engagement ring. She was saying, `I'd never seen anyone get a tattoo before, so I was pretty squeamish I guess.' Depp chuckled and said, `She kept taking the bandage off and staring at it afterwards.' They were speaking of WINONA FOREVER, the third and final (for now) Depp tattoo, eternally etched onto his epidermis: locus, right shoulder. (Depp told me he plans to have his tattoos pickled after his death as keepsakes for his children, should there be any). This one was carved on at a nearby tattoo parlor as Winona watched with awe. `I sort of was in shock,' she said. `I kept thinking it was going to wash off or something. I couldn't believe it was real.' Her eyes widened. `I mean, it's such a big thing, because it's so permanent.' 
- Rolling Stone, January 1991

This is so great! Like a time capsule. I remember being a kid when they were together.

I love this! Not only is Rolling Stone magazine one of my favorite things in the world... but picturing these two, young and giddy with love- is beautiful. Beautiful because it was real and exciting then, and beautiful because we know it ended and they both survived the heartache- tattoos and all. <3
