Hi everyone, I am getting the quote "Some birds aren't meant to be caged" tattooed, and I was wondering whether there's a picture of this quote anywhere handwritten by King himself? I am aware he doesn't do signings anymore so I know I have no chance to send him a letter and ask for it. The tattoo is to honor my dad who's a huge King fan (and who inspired me to read all of his books too), and will be placed next to a tattoo I already have of a little bird in honor of another family member. I really hope someone can help me out :)
Thanks!

Howdy vanwingerden! That's from Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. Maybe this, or a finer image of Rita herself? All the best, mal

Hi! Yeah I'm aware, I have the book on my night stand :) I am definitely going to get the quote as a tattoo, and not an image of Rita Hayworth but thank you for thinking along!

I haven't ever seen that quote handwritten by him.
