Yesterday after getting my tattoo, I was looking in the bathroom mirror, being all poser– and posing. I actually said out loud, “I’m such a badass!” because, well, I’m a tool.
Then I hit my elbow on the corner of my granite countertop, teared up from the pain, and said a couple mutha-fuckers.
I’m so awesome.

The first time I used my 2 years of hs Latin since, well, high school.
Perfect sentiment.

where is that tattoo? is that your forearm or leg?

Hmm…I was seeing a forearm. Now I can see that it could be a leg too. Still thinking veins and muscle look like a wrist.

That there is some good usage of Latin. congrats.

whoa is that on your forearm!?!? badass.

don’t have any tattoos. But I was thinking the other day maybe I should get one.
ON a scale of 1-10, how bad would my back or ribs hurt?
September 21st, 2008 at 8:29 pm
100% awesome.

I’m going with inside lower right leg…I’m right, I’m always right.

Oregon’s motto is “Alis Volat Propiis” (She Flies With Her Own Wings).
Oregon’s nickname is “Beaver State”.
Coincidence? It better not mean you’re moving too because I’ll be reserving a padded room.
You’re so much braver than me. Rad tat hot momma

I love it! How many does that make for you?

Good work, all you Latin nerds!
alexa/kk/patrick - The tattoo is on my forearm. And I think I would be completely freaked if my leg were that small!
Alli - my lower back was BY FAR the worst ever for a tattoo. Although, I can’t lie and say this was very easy either. My next one will be on my ribcage — not looking forward to that pain one bit.
Stef - of course, this only improves my hot quotient.
Cat - this is #4.
Jason - no, you’re awesome. I think I finally remember you!

Well, you have funny looking wrists in that case!

I have 3 on my rib cage, five total. And the rib cage hurt. The first of the three hurt BAD but not bad enough to encourage two more (one next to and one below) in the same area.
Your photo makes me want another. Where did you go to get that done?

you are such a rockstar! i can’t wait to see it in person. hope you’re past the itchy phase.
