Dead in '09

Dudes, check out Eunice Shriver -- she looks like the crypt keeper's girlfriend. Yikes.

LA Ink


So, I spent much of my Xmas vacation watching a TLC marathon on LA Ink -- then totally applied to be on the show (and used this as my 'website' -- so, um I better update it).

Basically, the show is sweet. The artists are pretty good, but the most annoying thing: the long, drawn out sappy story the person tells about their tattoo. I don't care. I have one tattoo that means anything, and its my dad's initials under a purple heart. Why? He died 11 years ago and got a purple heart while he was in Vietnam. The end. Seriously, that's it. Not anything else to it.

My other 7 tattoos -- well, let's talk about the emotional reason behind it...

1 -- my bat tattoo i got on halloween for $13. $20 with tip.
2 -- my sanscrit tattoo i got in NYC with my cousin by a guy who had tattooed wilford brimley. that was the sole reason i went there.
3 -- my owl. owls are cool.
4 -- my zombie geisha. zombies are awesome, and i wanted something that was dripping with flesh on my leg. And I'm soon going to add her boyfriend, a punk rock zombie in a Black Flag t-shirt.
5/6 -- the flowers/butterfly on my back. At 19, I got what nearly every 19 year old girls gets for a tatoo -- a buttefly on my shoulder. then I decided it wasn't that cool, so I had some cherry blossoms added. it looks cool now.
7 -- an awesome representation of a tara mcpherson painting I saw in a movie. the chick is naked (HOT).

that's it. that's about as meaningful as my permanent body scarring gets. I want to like my tattoos, not have them remind me of death or sadness. They should make me happy. And they do. :)
