The great state of Minnesota?

Ahh Minnesota. Home of many lakes, cold winters and Vikings (in the looting and pillaging type, as well as the NFLteam). Both of those things come together very nicely in this hilarious anecdote. I guess my MPH would be worthless if I wasn't also reminded that the state has some pretty great  great health care.

So today's calf tattoo is courtesy of my dear friend, Chelsea. I know it probably seems like all of my friends are dear friends. But what can I say? I use the same taxonomy of friendships as a 12 year old girl.  

Last week, Chelsea decided to get in on the calf tattoo hunting bonanza. She sent me a picture of a guy she spotted on the T (probably the Green line). The email was simple and to the point.

Subject line: MN?

The body contained the calf tat picture with a simple sentence: Not a great pic but could this be the great state of Minnesota?

 Thank goodness I have friends that know the precise shape of states, because I sure don't. The email sparked an enlightening conversation between me and two fellow calf tat hunters (Chelsea and Cindy). It went a little something like this:

Cindy: who knew people from Minnesota were so proud. i've never seen a state tat before. pretty sweet.

 

chelsea will you now get an OK tat on your calf?

Chelsea:I've seen an Oklahoma one with Massachsetts inside the Oklahoma!! It was awesomely horrendous.

 

Me:

I mean a tattoo of a state inside a state?! How is that even possible?!
How do you manage to put this

inside of this

 More importantly, how do we not have photographic proof that something like that even exists? Looks like we've stumbled upon another illusive calf tat.
