My Second Tattoo
It’s been fifteen years since the day I spontaneously went with Shannon to DaVinci Tattoo in Wantagh. We weren’t planning on getting tattoos that day, but we did. I didn’t think I’d ever get one, but Shannon had paved the … Continue reading

I Must Break You?
I’ve always written journals, in some way, shape, or form. I remember in Christmas 1985 when I was 10, getting this matching set – stationery, pen, some cardboardy-decorated desk thing which name’s escaped me, and a journal. It was not … Continue reading

The Stink Over Ink
Don’t remember how or why I stumbled upon it, but on Facebook, there is an awesome page called Tattoo Acceptance In the Workplace. It’s dedicated to, well, what it says in the name, and it posts a lot of pictures … Continue reading
