Steph, I like your dad's tattoo, I don't think I said.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's a really nice design, Steph. The dadness-neck part of it would freak me out forever.
Hand hurts a bit less, still puffy, 4 Aleve and two ice packs later.
BOORED. Meetings at 2, when I can write, but most of the other stuff I have to do is typing, and that's still slow and error-filled (don't ask about this post).
Ah, well. Better check work mail, then re-elevate.

That is a really cool tattoo! And I guess he doesn't need to worry about a future boss writing him off because of a neck tattoo at this point?
He's a badass. (A winky emoticon belongs here.)
Steph, I like your dad's tattoo, I don't think I said.
I like the tat itself a lot. I don't think that picture shows the gradual shading of the orange color, which is nicely done. But I remain dubious about the location. He loves it, though (fortunately), and that's really all that matters.

ita, do you know what's going on with the hand (the cause)? Because I'd really hate for you to get hit with another mystery ailment.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I hope your hand swells down and feels better soon, ita.

Ugh ita, sorry about the hand stuff.
Whoa Steph, I'm totally impressed with your father's tat.

The subject of tattoos came about because I shared a picture of my dad's new tattoo
must be something in the water with our parents getting tattoos. my mom just got her first one last thursday. she got the customary tramp stamp. my dad was thinking about getting one, but i think he's backed out now for whatever reason. oh and i like your dad's, but i feel you on the placement!

Frank, I think it's an infiltrated IV from Sunday morning that I didn't notice at the time. No idea why it's persisting this long--I've had a few before, but not this bad. I don't want to think there's anything deeper.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I recently decided that my only concern about tattoos and/or their placement is other people. So I wouldn't get a tattoo that precluded me from looking Very Conservative on demand, but if that is not a concern for other people, I say go for it! Shit, someone I know who works for the state department has several tattoos that would be visible in typical female work clothes, so maybe there are no rules anymore.
