I thought I wanted a tattoo back in the eighties or maybe it was the nineties. Anyway, I spent a long time thinking about what I wanted and where to put it. I didn't do it. Why didn't I do it? Well, I used to be a gym-goer. In the locker room, I saw a lot of sad butterflies, flaccid roses, oddly-faded fish and a host of other tattoos that did not age well. Skin sags and takes the design with it.
The design is lovely. It could be embraced in any number of other personal ways, but if you've got your heart set on a tattoo, be prepared to spend a fair amount of money and put up with the pain and possibly multiple visits to the artist.

Sorry to be a drag.
