Thai, Tattoos, Tequila

This just in: Scarlett Johansson has an album. Just in case you want to buy it.

Now that we have that tasty news out of the way, the real news is that to mark my marriage, to mark my departure from Utah (or just for the hell of it) I now have a tattoo. That's right kids. It's my first tattoo (except for those ones I got from the radiation tech back in the cancer days).

Tif and I organized an alliterative evening (she's a supreme tattoo facilitator, encouraging and accompanying anyone who mentions the slightest whiff of interest in getting a tattoo) with Thai food for dinner, the tattoos and then tequila. Since we went to Port-o-Call, Tif also said it should be my goal for the evening to kiss one of the guys in the bar. Then we could have added Tongue to the list. It was Port-o-Call and there were a lot of leering guys in the bar and it was my bachelorette party after all, but I decided against it.

Port-o-Call and the tequila shots were exciting, but the real excitement of the night was my tattoo. I would post a picture, but it is currently covered in plastic and kind of puffy; but if you see me, I might show it to you. I've been contemplating getting a tattoo for years, so now seemed a fine time. I was nervous about the thing, not about the needle which doesn't bother me at all, but about the idea that I might not like the thing, that I might instantly regret it. But I love it. love it. While I was getting inked, I was thinking about another design I could get to turn my little medical tattoos (which bug me in the way they remind me of bad days) into something of my own. Tif says tattoos are addictive.

Anyway, I feel all emboldened now. Maybe I'll make an album.

seems so very apropos but what is the tattoo of???? A description? A hint?

Exactly my questions, c.i., and so a.u., tell us: what is the nature of your tattoo (: an ontological discussion)??

Because you have not told us, I am left to speculate that it is obscene, and you don't want that on your conscience.

You MUST post a picture. Must. I think if I had stayed in Austin any longer I would have been required to get a tattoo. And also to learn the 2 step.
