That's what she said -- she'd be wearing a jacket anyway.
Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
unless she is in sales ... and those sales are to the military , a small tattoo probably isn't a worry. Unless it is someone's name.

It's pretty easy to cover a wrist tattoo with long sleeves or a big watchband.
Just ask Charisma Carpenter.
This is still my favorite dirigible-inspired joke. (Yes, there are sufficient quantities for me to have a favorite.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I just tried to talk my minion out of getting a tattoo on her wrist. I told her it's potentially a bad move for job interviews and etc. She pointed out that the people who wouldn't hire her for that probably wouldn't hire her for her locks, either. Fair point?
Is she white or black? (or "other"?)
Because I think black locks are beginning to get more slack.

This is why we can't have nice blimps.
Ah, the Hindenburg. A big bag of hydrogen, painted in rocket fuel*, and attached to diesel engines. What could possibly go wrong?
- I know what you are thinking, "Gud, you magnificent stud, there wasn't an oxidizing agent in the doping compound so it can't really be called rocket fuel and the concentration of the other elements weren't right either for that matter. You'd be right, but saying 'painted in rocket fuel' is awfully fun."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is still my favorite dirigible-inspired joke.
Heh.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I don't think so. A tattoo is a decision that can't be undone lightly. The older I get, the more I realize that I can think I know where my life is going, but the odds are high that I will be wrong. Ten years from now, she could be arguing before the Supreme Court.

She's black. Which actually gives her more leeway on the tattoos, too, I think -- they are less visible because there's less contrast.
And happy birthday!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Charlie Sheen believes the US carried out the 9/11 attacks.
Froot Loop.
As a callback apparently he's also against vaccinations because they make you ill and let the government track you.

“There’s no horrible accident? How are they going to make it funny?”
Scola, that link is GENIUS.

True, true... but doesn't darker skin make it tougher to zap them off?
I've seen Black lawyers with short locks. I've never see tattoos on any of them at work.
