This is the place where stuff happens in Central New York. Okay, that's not true. It's just stuff about me, things I like and love, whatever.

I Want It!
Let's assume I was brave enough to get a tattoo. Let's assume the words "inserting" and "under the skin" were not part of the process. What and where should my tattoo be? And while you're at it, why do you think I should get that particular tattoo in that particular location?
An L and a C, in gothic script, on your hip, for the girls (or is it really A-lisha?) That way you're showing your love for the entities bearing your DNA, and every time they get mouthy with you, you can end the conversation with "But I'm BRANDED for you. What have you done for me lately?" Hip because it's not always easily visible, but you can haul it out at appropriate moments even in public without being arrested.
I think it would be appropriate for you to get one on your ankle... really low, almost on your foot so it can be hidden with socks. It should be a picture of two heads... one really big one, and one really tiny one. They don't have to resemble your daughters, but at least when you look at it you can laugh and it will remind you of them.
I'm a college writing teacher and graduate of Idaho State University's soon-to-be-defunct Doctor of Arts Program. I write poetry and read it sometimes at local venues. I like nice people, no matter what their age, race, orientation, whatevah. I don't want to embarrass anyone, but I have the most wonderful boyfriend in the world.

Whatever you do, DON'T get a tattoo on your lower back. You know what those are called now, right??

I don't know what they're called and now I really want to know. I'm glad that Jess and Carlie think I'm some sort of mom.
Be wary that tattoos close to a bone hurt more.
Also, get some Utter Balm (the stuff in the green tin) and apply it twice a day for a couple weeks after the tattoo... that stuff works wonders.
As far as what to get... how about a white swan reaching up towards a 'welcome to New Jersey' roadsign?
