Plei, I'm with smonster. ita would be pleased. You're desiring to permanently carry her artwork on your body forever. It's the ultimate validation of her skill.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I bought a talisman a year or year and a half ago for Dad's Mini that I have now. It's a silver dragonfly on blue and it has always reminded me of ita.
And I've considered her dragonfly for a tattoo as well.

I can't imagine that she would be anything other than chuffed by buffistas sporting her art in permanent form.
eta: location might be a factor, tho. Maybe not in buttcrack.
eata: as someone who didn't know her very well, the eta about location could be a totally wrong assumption. Tattoos in buttcracks would have made a great thread topic

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
A dragonfly tattoo sounds perfect.
I was asked today about when I was going to finally get a tattoo. I tried playing the "I'm too old" card but it wasn't flying. But weirdly the more my body racks up scars, the less need I feel for a tattoo.

At my age and condition, I feel like a tattoo is like putting a Ming vase on a splintery old orange crate. The display space is not up to the quality of the art.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
But the most important question, sj: will the Thai be vegetarian?
Nope. We are all omnivores.
I am totally an omnivore, but I can never pass up tofu in pad thai or pad see eeiw (which I had for lunch yesterday...and leftovers for breakfast today). LOVE it all pan-fried and crispy.
I know there are good tattoo artists in Vermont
askye, I don't know how long of a drive it would be from where you live to Waterbury, but Corey at Good Ink Tattoo (which is in Waterbury) is *excellent.* I recommend him unreservedly. He did mine, and my Dad's, and virtually all of my brother's ink, which is stunning.

Thrive to spite them
Waterbury is a half hour or so away, I thought it was furhter but I double checked.
So totally doable. I checked out their website and I'll have to send an email asking about rates and stuff like that.
I don't even know where I'd put the tattoo.

Steph, I love that your family has a family tattoo artist.
