Girl, Interrupted?

Hey y'all. I'm back from a week at the beach. Most people would come back with a healthy beachy glow. Not me. I'm too fair to actually tan, I just freckle and get blonder. While I was away, my always reliable fellow calf tat hunters were out in full force. So I have plenty of material to work with.

So let's just dive in and get started.

Today's amazing sighting is from Cindy. I know I always post her pics, but damn, she's got some skills.

I know, there is a lot to look at here.  I think Cindy missed a pretty amazing shin tattoo, but let's try to look past that. Deep breathing. I'm pretty sure that is the only way we are going to get through this calf tat. So let's try to focus, people.

I'm not quite sure how to sugar coat this, so I'm just going to come right out and say it --this is a some batshit crazy stuff here! I was scratching my head wondering what the hell this chick has tattooed all down her legs. I mean, I can read the first two lines, but I had no idea where the eff this came from. Thank goodness for Google, because a quick search revealed that it's actually a poem titled 'Resume' by Dorothy Parker. And it's also recited by the Angelina Jolie's character in Girl, Interrupted. If you're too lazy to click on the hyperlink , the full quote is:

Razors pain you; rivers are damp; acids stain you; and drugs cause cramp. Guns aren't lawful; nooses give; gas smells awful; you might as well live.

Holy crap! All I can do is quote Kanye, 'That shit cray!'

I'm all for having meaningful things tattooed on your body. I mean, that is pretty much the whole point of tattooing, but this is a bit too much. I guess I prefer to get to know someone before being bombarded with their issues, ya know? I think this would have worked a lot better elsewhere on her body. Somewhere more private.

Maybe it's just because I spent a week with my parents, but I can't help but hear my mom's voice saying something about being nice. So I will say something nice. That means, no comment on the shoes, no comment about the shin and side calf tattoos or anything else. I am just going to talk about the long ass quote here. Ok deep breath.

The script work is really pretty.  And symmetrical. I'm going to guess it was pretty painful too. Judging by the length of the quote, it probably goes to the middle of her upper thighs.

But that is all I can say and I hope my mom is happy about that.
