quote from neutral milk hotel’s “in the aeroplane over the sea.”  i’ve loved the band for years, as well as the sentiment behind this lyric.

I had an idea to get a tattoo to resemble a garter. The back actually laces up. It took about 4 sittings and was worth every second! I have a pretty high pain threshold, but the inner thigh and the position you have to be in for it, do not lend to this being an easy tattoo. The artist did it all freehand, he is amazing!

my second tattoo: “unless” (in georgia font, my favorite) originally from the lorax by dr seuss. “unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. it’s not.”

there’s kind a slew of reasons for this tattoo. i love the lorax: it’s my favorite dr suess book. i also got it as a representation of my love to read and my love of words. the more i think about it though, i really like the sentiment of ‘unless,’ the idea of possibility and doing. it kind of keeps me motivated.

This is my ruler and notepad tattoo. I believe that tattoos can be used for functionality as well as memory. I’m a designer, so I use the ruler for buttons, zippers, and trim widths. Usually the notepad has an address or to-do list on it. :)

Got this at Green Lotus Tattoo Studio in Brunswick, Melbourne about two years ago on my right forearm. I had been looking for something that featured a fox with a hare inside it to represent myself and my brother who had passed away, as children we had been called Little Fox [myself] and Little Hare [my brother] by our parents. For my 21st Birthday a close friend got this commissioned for me by an artist she knew. I love that people go cross eyed trying to see the forest and hare when I tell them what’s in there.
