Jesse, that would run it into my first tattoo, so I think maybe up the side of my calf would be better.

Right on.

Actually, I have a practical tattoo question for everyone: I'm wary of getting a tattoo anywhere that would be seen in a job interview, so no lower leg/ankle/foot etc. Am I overly paranoid, you think?

Not overly paranoid, but more conservative than many.

Then again, so am I. Both of my tattoos are easily covered by clothing that is not a burqa.

I figure better safe than sorry, I guess. Once I'm an ED, I'll get my hands and face tattooed.

Nah. A friend of mine got a few of hers back when she thought she was going into theoretical math, which, as you know, is such a hotbed of straightlaced conservatism on a public stage. Or something.

These days, she's a public defender, and all her ink is easily covered in court.

Also, her greatgrandmother probably would have had a heart attack if she ever knew.

Mine is too. I even have some tank tops that cover it.

Nice. We'll look forward to that.

Though now that I sport pink hair, I've had sort of an epiphany. I'm not sure I'm cut out to work at a place that might ding me because of my hair color and NOT want to hire me.

But tattoos are way more permanent than hair dye (mistress of the obvious! ).

I once had a roomate who had a mowhawk. She got a tatoo of a dragon on part of her skull that was shaved. That way all she had to do to get a job at a conservative place was grow her hair.

I'm seeing no casualties out of Jamaica, yay! Looks like Haiti got hit pretty bad though. And right after that raid, I'd say it's a bad time to be in Haiti but it always seems like a bad time to be in Haiti these days.

Rescue me: Tommy's ghosts seem to have been replaced by Jesus. For whatever reason.

Ooh! Like Eve Savail. So fucking hot.

Jesse, you could always cover it with Dermablend for interviews.
