facing the tattoo music

so i'm inching closer and closer, sideways and crab-like, to sacking up and getting a tattoo. i've had it designed for a while (nb: it is not, nor was it ever, going to be a gothic-lettered "LA LUCHA"...just to clear that up. i'm in no rush to get shanked by an ecuadorian gang member or harassed by east haven cops); i've narrowed down placement to ankle, lower back, or between shoulder blades (although: painful, tramp-stamp, and inclined to fat, respectively); and now i just have to figure out where to go. SO if you've had a good experience with a particular location or artist, preferably in an easily accessible place like new haven, boston, or new york, email me or let 'er rip in the comments.

(it should be noted that this is not the design either, just a little something i whipped up for the cover of our intern protocols at my old internship. GENDER AND SECURITY: HOLLA BACK. UNSCR 1325 4LYFE)

  1. Ankle? I guess that's OK. Tramp Stamp? I will shun you, Amish/Dwight style. Between shoulder blades? Sounds better than tramp stamp. Will it be a rose? A Celtic design? Something in Japanese? Please let it be a heart with "Gran" written across.

  2. What's the design? And if your grandparents complain, just remind them that this isn't in fact against Jewish law according to modern scholars.

  3. I SWEAR LA LUCHA USED TO BE AN OPTION. :)
