Um, 120lb at 5’6 is *not* fat. Modern Hollywood standards that say that is fat are INSANE and wrong.

“Pretty” or “funny” has only one layer.

“Meaningful” can have many, many layers.

Permanent ink in the skin is worthy of something that has more than one layer.

Our definitions of pretty or funny are more changable than our definitions of what is meaningful. Heck, I used to think My Little Pony was pretty. Luckily I could give my pony t-shirt…[Read more]

When I got my most recent tat, my artist told me to *NOT* go back to jiu jitsu class for two weeks. I went to an arial silk class, which I thought would be okay because it wasn’t going to be sweaty and rough. Well, just from my stretching the area too much, the tat scabbed, and it ended up healing kind of patchy. I wish I had held off. I’m sure if…[Read more]

Hi

The simple answer is if you have the slightest of doubts don’t do it.

A sign at the Australian Hotel and Brewery in Rouse Hill reads: “NO Visable (sic) Tattoo’s (sic).”

I find it highly ironic that a place that can’t even spell “visible” nor “tattoos” is worried about keeping out the lower life forms.

Come on, rats are cool! I have two of them. (real pet rats, not tattooed rats!) 🙂 They are very intelligent and affectionate, like dogs.

Rats. I figured that’s what people would say. 🙁 I guess it’s not worth messing up the tat.

I work at Hastings…worked there prior to getting my very visible wrist tattoo. I felt comfortable getting this tattoo because my boss had like 5 tattoos around her wrists. Now she’s quitting and I’ll be the only one with a visible tattoo…hopefully this doesn’t come back to bite me.

But anyway, fairly big…[Read more]
