Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

“Not dead yet!”

It's very perky, Allyson.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Very nice, Allyson!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm just sad I can't really see it without two mirrors. But I like the placement for its flirtiness, if that makes sense.

It does. I don't want to get a tat where I can't see it, because I'm shallow like that, but on other people it's nice, because I can see it even if they can't. If that makes sense. You can sweep your hair out of the way, and bingo!

Man, I really want my dragonfly tat. Later, later.

Where did you get it done?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

That's a lovely tattoo (and placement), Allyson.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I went to Broken Art Tattoo, which is really lovely. It's set up like a comfy lounge, lots of sofa, very airy and light. Good, calm atmosphere.

Weirdly, while I was sitting on one of the couches hanging out waiting for the artist to work on the transfer, a dude came in, walked up to me, and asked me if I could take a walk-in.

I apparently look like someone who works there. Which is odd, since I have no visible tats.

ETA: I went on a rec from a friend, who got a tiny piece of her mother's writing tattooed on her arm (I love you more...). Her mom is dying of cancer, and the artist refused to charge her for it, since he lost his own mom after a long battle with cancer.

Gorgeous work.

Because books.

It's very cool, Allyson.

God, I want more ink so much. I have it all planned, too. Where's the goddamn tattoo fairy when you need him?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Allyson, that's a great tattoo!

I KNOW. I really need to crack the whip on that artist I have around here and get him to finish the next batch of designs.
