tattoo preference

i planned to get a tattoo on my first trip to san francisco. i'm not completely sure why i wanted to do it there (as opposed to at the tattoo parlor down the street from work), but maybe it had something to do with independence or rebellion or that high that comes from going on vacation. regardless, i perfected the sketch while we sat in the airport waiting for the snow to stop so our plane could depart. it was an ichthus with "hanani" underneath. hanani means "god is gracious" - and it also happened to be the prominent lyric in a song that the o.c. supertones had recently released.

i did not get that tattoo. in the end, i remembered that tattoos are applied by needles, and i don't like needles.

now if i could get a tattoo licked on by kittens ...
